LCI Project: French Norman Inspired

Every project we work on is different because we tailor our designs to suit each client’s unique preferences and needs. I am always excited to start a new project as I often help a client discover their own style. I find French Norman architecture to be very beautiful as it emerged after WWI, following an increase in knowledge of French style and culture. It elevates the charms of the French country house and is incredibly chic.

No shutters or ornate details keeps the exterior simple, yet elegant.

“Peter Block buildings are thoughtful, comfortable foundations for lasting memories, where luxury exists even in the sparest of rooms.” This is evident in his interiors below.

Bill Ingram is another southern architect who is inspired by the French Norman style. The steps leading down from the floor and a half windows allow for more interior daylight and a visually interesting exterior.

His all-white bathroom leading outside looks heavenly.
