Belgian interior architect and art historian Anne Derasse, renowned for her prestigious projects in Belgium and abroad, reveals the philosophy of her creations. Her companion, the photographer and artist Jörg Bräuer, captures the atmosphere emanating from these architectures through his superb images. The highly regarded wine château of Calon Ségur in the Médoc, the Delvaux flagship store in Brussels, the Ancienne Nonciature, her base, and the castle of Montmoreau, their lair in the South Charente, reveal her style combining history and contemporaneity, in a refinement and sophistication imbued with sobriety. The choice of works of art completes her artistic approach. ?I seek to capture and preserve the soul of places, this intangible anchor point between human history and the passage of time. I wish to magnify the worlds of life and re-enchant everyday life to bring well-being, tranquility, and felicity to the people who entrust their projects to me.? Text in English and French.
