One window.
THE RESCUE — N° 01
Three premium properties. A prior agency that no longer delivered. A season closing in.
We picked up the dossier.
We rebuilt. From scratch. Three times over.
In five weeks.
THE AUDIT — N° 02
We opened the dossier. We sorted what could stay.
Three sites. One stalled build. Hours of meetings already paid. We listened first.

PENTHOUSE
FOUND
A waiting room. No date.
KEPT
The marquee status — and the floor plan.

The owner kept what mattered. We brought the rest back online.

THE DOSSIERS — N° 04
Three houses. Three character pieces.
I.
Drôme Sport Retreat
DRÔME · FRANCE
Three and a half hectares in the southern French hills. A clay tennis court the colour of green moss. Eleven beds in four named suites — Toison, Bergère, Transhumance, Estive. The grounds open at dawn and close when the light goes.
II.
Rooftop Hôtel de Ville
LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS · SWITZERLAND
One hundred and eighty square metres, on two floors. A duplex above the heart of the city. Labrador Bleu in one bathroom, Amazonite Verde in the other. The marquee property — the one that opened the dossier.
III.
Appartement Hôtel de Ville
LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS · SWITZERLAND
Three rooms and a half. The sister flat, one floor down. Stone walls. Northern light all day. Offered as a goodwill gesture — and built with the same care as the marquee.
THE SIGNATURE — N° 05
Three houses. Three tones.
One hand drew them. Each kept its own light.
TONE · 01
Drôme — Earth
The weekend. Off the grid.
Clay tennis, green moss. Hills that hold the day.
TONE · 02
Rooftop — Shadow
One hundred and eighty square metres. Two floors.
Duplex above the city. The light arrives late and stays late.
TONE · 03
Sister flat — Paper
Three rooms and a half. The quiet one.
Stone walls. Northern light. A long table.
Same hand. Three rooms. Three weathers.
THE CONTEXT — N° 06
Four grounds. One domain.
The Drôme retreat is the only private place in the region with four sports grounds on site. The reason the brief held.
01
Tennis
Clay court. The colour of green moss. Rackets at the door.
02
Padel
Glass walls. South-facing. Floodlit when the day runs out.
03
City stade
Football, basketball, handball — one box, three sets of lines.
04
Pétanque
A patch of gravel under the lime tree. Drinks within reach.
Three and a half hectares. Eleven beds. Four grounds. Nothing else in the way.
THE BRIDGE — N° 07
Three houses. One conversation.

MODIFICATIONS — RETURNED THE SAME DAY.
THE LOOP — N° 09
Two passes. Same day. No drift.
Modifications came back gathered. They left the same evening.
01.
FIRST PASS
After the first build. Every screen, every line. Walked once, by phone.
Returned the same day.
02.
SECOND PASS
After the soft launch. Real visitors. Real questions. Real edits.
Returned the same day.
No round-trip. No drift. The owner kept the pace.
THE COUNTER — N° 10
A till that runs without a hand on it.
Bookings come in, deposits clear, the calendar closes itself. The owner watches it from a phone.
01
THE DATE
Saturday to Saturday. Seven nights minimum. The form refuses anything else.
02
THE DEPOSIT
Thirty per cent at booking. Calculated on the night, not on the screen.
03
THE CALENDAR
When a deposit clears, the dates lock. No double booking. No human in the loop.
04
THE LETTER
Two notes leave — one to the guest, one to the owner. Both arrive.
05
THE LEDGER
Every booking, every status. Filed in one back room.
Five steps. Zero supervision. The owner reads it on a Sunday.
THE PROVENANCE — N° 11
Served from Switzerland. Held under Swiss roof.
Three sites. Two countries. One frontier the data never crossed.
01.
THE ROOF
Servers in the same valley as the watch trade. The hand that holds the keys is local.
02.
THE BORDER
Names, addresses, payments — none of them leave the country.
03.
THE LOCKS
Doors locked from the outside. Limits at every gate. A login that wears out after five tries.
Premium properties read this paragraph before they sign.
THE REACH — N° 12
Four tongues. Two countries.
FRENDENL
FranceSwitzerland
One copy system, served everywhere.
From the southern hills to the Swiss watch valley.
THE FOUR VOICES — N° 13
One copy system. Four tongues.
Each language got its own pass — not a translation. The voice carries differently in each.
