Chateau de la Haute Borde in Loire Valley France Artist Residency and Guest Rooms
After a friend took part in the artist residency program at the Château de la Haute Borde a few summers back, I’ve admired the interiors and images of artists and guests gathered around long dinner tables in the tall grasses of the surrounding grounds.

The bathtub surround is Languedoc marble.
MPM sourced marble from previous constructions across different countries in order to reduce the cost and use leftover material.

Carrying from the bedroom into the ensuite bath is cocciopesto flooring, a type of Italian marble made up marble and shell fragments, akin to terrazzo.
