Outbuilding of the Week: A Chic Chicken Coop in France

From corrugated coop to rustic luxe cabin, on a former pheasant farm and featured recently in The World of Interiors. Must be France:

Photography by Ricardo Labougle and styling by Loreto López Quesada, courtesy of Isabel López-Quesada.

Above: In Biarritz on the Basque coast of southwestern France, interior designer Isabel López-Quesada left the corrugated metal walls exposed in her summerhouse cabin.

Above: Interior walls are sided with reclaimed corrugated metal panels, recycled from a chicken coop.

Above: The cabin’s facade is sided with cedar shingles and eucalyptus wood.

Above: A peaked roof of pine beams covers the porch.

Above: A covered porch does double duty as an open-air outdoor dining room.

Above: French doors connect a bedroom to the covered porch.

Above: Antelope antlers decorate the hallway that leads to the bedrooms. Pine support trusses are new; left unpainted, they look as if they were part of the original framework of the structure.

Above: The bathroom has a double sink.

Above: Open air dining, thanks to an oversized window wall in the dining room.
