    Absolutely stunning, a beautiful stone patio (Alfresco seating area) over the top of that area would not hide it but blend it in with white & cream hydrangia bushes, imagine water lillies in the lake to frame the mirror image of the Chateau Beautiful!!!

    Put a low wooden walkway/bridge with wooden handrails upon the dividers for double sluice openings and in front of the gates. This would create an easy walking path to the reflection side of the pond. Behind and slightly above on the old concrete catwalk, put two long planter boxes for boxwood above the two sluice gates. Finally, over the generator house put a post and beam open air observation pavilion for the reflecting pond. It would be a great place to enjoy the view and the sound of flowing water, and offer a destination for the new wooden bridge. Additionally, it would protect the top of the concrete generator house with a roof.

      Also, cut stones in half to adhere them to the concrete portion, in that way it would make the construction appear older, softer to the environment. More natural in your landscape.

    My first thought is to create / build a "folly" on top of the structure that will resemble the chateau in style. The use of a "folly" is traditional in estate, both historic and new build as it creates a conversation piece while providing a useful disguise. I'm glad to know you recycled the mud from the miroir d'eau into the gardens as well as using the natural elements (water) as a sustainable resource. Salut-

    That is really cool, a hydro plant to power the chateau. I love the dual purpose of a reflecting pond. You could hide it by creating a gazebo or green house for vegetation growth. A Japanese Tea House would look great too. It could be landscaped as a Japanese garden around the Tea house with the reflecting pool. Great for parties! Crazy idea, a mill for grinding grain into flour. Produce your own products to sell.

      I realy love this idea! I just hope it won't be too noisy if visitors stay there to admire the view. A torrent of water falling into a pipe has nothing comparable to the peaceful sound of a waterfall, rather, a sink emptying (especially as the current waterfall will necessarily be reduced or even absent when the turbine will be in operation).

    • @theoneandonlyAeth

      A hedge or some evergreen shrubs around it and give the building a green roof with moss or grass and you've got it fairly well hidden even from the top floor of the castle. It'll blend in with the green of the trees behind and the garden around the pond.

    Good to read about 'hope' (rare commodity these days) and the fact that you are re-using an ancient technology (stemming from pre-Roman times) to continue the earlier means of heating youe property. Huge amount of thinking and practical work involved of course but well worth it. Rain will fall and rivers will run - that's the hopeful and I believe, real bit.

    What a truly beautiful sustainable asset! I am very curious about how much energy the pump will deliver during the cold winter months and also during severe frost. For future visitors and friends, this is truly a special story and place to discover. I wouldn't hide the pump house too much for that reason, at most some evergreen rhododendrons in front of it and a weeping willow with a path to it? The advantage of rhododendron is that they grow slowly and do not overgrow, have many beautiful flowers and fit well in this humid place. In the Netherlands, rhododendron became very popular in the last century as tall plantings in historic and park-like environments around water features. I can't wait to see more of your restored and stylishly realized furnishings.

    Very smart to utilize your water for electricity. I think that a lot of people who have Chateau’s realize how costly heating them is. The couple from Beau Chateau said that when they put on weddings in the fall and winter the cost is $900 Euros a day to heat the whole Chateau. Crazy…. What about putting on a metal gazebo where you can plant evergreen climbers. 😊

    So dreamy...😍 Your chateau is also beautiful too 😜
    About the turbine and weir structure, like you say, the more you try and hide it the more the eye will be drawn to it. So one option might be to make a feature of it?
    You could modify the external appearance to make it look like a bastion/cannon emplacement, as though it is the remnant of an older defensive structure. It could be relatively simply done by dressing it's low walls (as seen from the chateau side of the grounds) in stone work and covering the roof in gravel. This would leave only the stairs and bridge as the only exposed concrete. I think the metalwork of the weir mechanism is quite attractive and would leave that exposed to, perhaps hinting that it might have been a portcullis.
    All theatre, absolutely, so think of it as a little garden folly :)

  • @gilsalazar2349

    In addition, you can make a garden around the area, making the all the area around the cabin very charming.

    This could not be any greater than to have your own Turbine power for the electric and the water. This is a 'gem' all by itself. This is one of the most important elements anyone could have to use! So, needed! Many have had such problems with their chateaus in this area.
    So yes, watch the sun, we never know how strong those rays are, honestly! I hope you have visitors, and they can come here and enjoy? If they do maybe sunscreen, small little samples, would be good to give out? Reminders to not 'over do' it? I had Basil Cell Carcinoma once, and I know for sure. Never dreamed that would happen. Never had skin problems before! Luckily it was not any more than this! That is why I mention how it is good to have them enjoy time there, but being careful if they do. Use of Sunscreen does help alot. We often forget this!
    You truly did your homework and found a fantastic Chateau, and it seems to be an absolutely perfect location too! This too will be so beautiful as you add nature with it all, the greenery and Herbs work out so nicely and the fragrance is lovely when one rubs or sweeps by it. Of course, always fantastic for cooking, if closer to home!

You are the perfect match to restore it to former marriage of prosperity and happiness. Personally, I appreciate the brutalist movement in architecture.

    A lot of people suggested planters. Great idea but a lot of work, watering.
    If installed, it’s essential to have them on a drip system, controlled by an App. You need a timer, back flow valve and an outdoor spiket. In case the gardener isn’t there every day, I would install cameras to check on the planters and water through the App.
    That requires Wi-Fi near the building or a gardener checking in every other day.
    I think in ground plants are a lot less maintenance and cheaper.

    Definitely a little arched, red bridge to be installed in chinoiserie style. Would add a beautiful reflection in the water. 😍

    I like the planter idea with overhanging plants. Could also be a bridge with planters along the sides for overhanging plants. So fun ❤️

    Good morning
    The view on the mirror pool is absolutely beautiful 😍
    Maybe 🤔 to hide the ugly .. maybe a shed on top that’s made out of wooden framed windows so you can sit and daydream the day away ……. Not sure on height but maybe the use of beautiful materials like those gorgeous tall concrete flower pots and marble tables with hanging arched mirrors to reflect back the image and beautiful standing Statues …☺️
    Pinterest has some amazing designs and she sheds in “formal French gardens “
    What ever you do it will be beautiful

    Man that is going to be a serious home hydro station. How much power is it supposed to produce. Super cool.

    Construct a new or find an old conservatory to build over the generation site, thereby creating a beautiful place with plants that one could view from afar as well as go into it to view the water running and the mechanics.
    Keep up the good work!

    re: camouflage - How about a pergola that takes advantage of the proximity to the water for growing a couple varieties of table grapes?

    Gorgeous view! about the turbine room... don't hide it at all! maybe transfrom it into a garden folly, something similar to the little tower in front of the swimming pool at the jardins du manoir d'Eyrignac.

    Lotus grow very well on that kind of water, and it looks magestic too!!
    it has bigger leafs which will make the water surface look a bit smaller - if that's what you like
