Château de Morsan, one of the few remaining folies in France. It was originally built around 1760 as a hunting lodge by the Marquis de Morsan. The architect was Ange-Jacque Gabriel who was also the architect of the petit Trianon at Versailles. A couple saved the abandoned dwelling and embarked upon a 10-year restoration dedicated to preservation of the architectural integrity of the era. I think they are living my dream life LOL
I saw the photo of the exterior online and fell in love….
After recreating the facade in Illustrator, I cut out the exterior walls with my glowforge and set to work.
I will chart the room by room progress here – might be a little slow since I am juggling too many projects. This working for a living is really getting in the way of my hobbies
Think of this as a companion to La Maison Tordue. It is so interesting how royalty frequently had a “smaller and simpler” place for getting away from the craziness of court. I guess their version of a man cave or she shed LOL.
I imagine this as a place for lady Anastasia and her close friends to spend relaxing time together
