A Maison de Maître in the Tarn region has old buildings but the landscape does not have the corresponding historic structure (old dry stack stone walls, for example.)

The garden of a Maison de Maître in the Tarn region of Southwest France respects the “patrimoine” of France and the historic architecture while creating spaces a young family can enjoy.

Elegant amenity spaces create opportunities for relaxation and play for a young family as well as entertaining areas for enjoying the view of hilltop village.

The lawn area is irrigated with rainwater captured from the roof in a rain cistern. Surface runoff, including polluted water from the barn, is diverted into a detention basin where it is cleaned and redirected to pastures on site, avoiding contamination of a nearby stream.
