Wood floors, decking & pergolas
A bespoke floor restoration, room by room
An oak floor nailed onto chipboard from the start: rather than lifting the lot, a solution built room by room.
Completed projects
My portfolio
Each project told simply: the starting problem, how I solved it, and the result in photos. Everything is designed, made and fitted by me, in the Hautes-Pyrénées and around.
Full renovation
An upstairs floor converted to match the need, and the budget
Wood fibre, Fermacell, timber-frame partitions and Nordic pine panelling: the farmhouse upstairs comes to life.
Full renovation
A job in a tenant's home, run as if for the owner
Polar white panelling, wood fibre, a card for the neighbours and photo reports to the owners: a job with no disturbance.
Bespoke furniture
A walnut shelf that floats on the wall, without a single visible fixing
French walnut, 45° mitre cuts and exposed hornbeam loose tenons: a one-off piece you will not find in a shop.
Kitchens
Changing the kitchen without changing the kitchen, for Maïté and Éric
Worktops, splashback and appliances replaced, the units kept: selective renovation that transforms the room.
Kitchens
A kitchen renovated from A to Z
A reinforced concrete wall opened up, wiring and plumbing brought up to standard, a compact laminate worktop: a renovation orchestrated as project manager.
Windows & doors
An old farmhouse made weathertight again, with respect for the façade
Pine windows, a sliding patio door, French doors and a front door, fitted on a restored farmhouse in the Ariège.
Staircases
A kit staircase adapted to the millimetre, fitted in two days
An off-the-shelf beech spiral staircase recut and adapted, with a platform and a Douglas fir guard rail built on site.
Wood floors, decking & pergolas
A nailed-down wood floor and hollow skirting boxes to hide the services
Solid sweet chestnut nailed down and hollow skirtings scribed one by one against walls where nothing is straight.
Bespoke furniture
A pantry and a utility room organised from floor to ceiling
Solid and three-ply spruce, recessed invisible aluminium angles, every last volume used and fitted to the rendered walls.
Bespoke furniture
Handle-free wall units and shelves that come straight out of the wall
Solid ash, push-to-open Blum hinges, shelves on invisible fixings: nothing sticks out, nothing shows.
Kitchens
A kitchen without a single carcass in an eight-sided room
Solid oak worktops on ash legs, an inset sink, and pieces scribed against lime-rendered walls.
Bespoke furniture
Three ash pieces in a bathroom where nothing is straight
Olive ash and white ash, angles scribed one by one, a stepped shelf unit between two walls, in Bagnères.
Windows & doors
New French doors above the tea room
Two-tone Scots pine and every seal redone from scratch, above a tea room in Bagnères.
Windows & doors
The marriage of three materials to make a farmhouse weathertight
Anthracite uPVC windows, an aluminium sliding patio door and a pine door under its sunburst fanlight, all made near Pau.
Wood floors, decking & pergolas
The oak floor of a Campan barn, set free then brought back to new
Wedges removed, expansion gaps created, sanded back to bare wood and filled with sawdust-tinted filler: 90 m² good for years to come.
Kitchens
An oak kitchen overhauled down to the last u-bend
Three worktops sanded and re-varnished, two replaced with new, and even the sink wastes and u-bends changed for a seal that lasts.
Bespoke furniture
Making the most of every inch of a loft flat
A mirrored walk-in wardrobe under the slope, a landing unit and a door, a whole floor optimised and seamlessly integrated.
Wood floors, decking & pergolas
A Douglas fir pergola that follows the slope of the land
Multiple sections on uneven ground, supporting kiwi plants, vines and roses for natural shade.
Windows & doors
A quiet bedroom in five days
uPVC windows with acoustic glazing, re-insulated shutter boxes and a lined wall, within the deadlines of a short-term rental.
Staircases
An alternating-tread staircase in an eight-sided room
Chocolate oak and spruce, in a space where no standard staircase would fit.
Bespoke furniture
A changing table in burr walnut
Solid burr walnut and dovetails: a one-off piece, assembled without a single screw.
Full renovation
An upstairs floor entirely renovated
The original oak beams kept and reinforced, to start again from a sound base.
Wood floors, decking & pergolas
An old wood floor made new again
Sanding, repairs and a new finish to bring back the charm of the original wood.
Wood floors, decking & pergolas
A larch deck facing the Pyrenees
Calculated joist structure, stainless steel screws and boards laid at the right gap: a deck built to last.
