An old mill lying in the region of Dordogne, south-west of France, has got a whole new look, a complete transformation Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek, known for his scrap-wood products, worked on for about a decade. The old mill and its annexes now have been turned into holiday homes that visitors can rent.<\/p>\n
The Dutch designer worked on the original structure of the buildings, keeping the old stone walls and terracotta tile roofs, but completely changing the interiors where he left a strong personal mark, furnished with Hein Eek’s furniture and contemporary artwork. The Eindhoven-based designer is best known for his scrap-wood products, where timber off-cuts are meticulously glued together to form armchairs, sofas, and prints for wallpaper. “Ruins have always been my great love and are just about the only form of property that I have pursued from small,” the designer explained to Dezeen.com<\/p>\n
