Barbe became the "house architect" for the Schlumberger family. He designed Pierre Schlumberger's house on Lazy Lane in Houston, Texas. For Pierre and his first wife Claire he restored a holiday house on the Normandy coast, and designed a new house at Tourettes-sur-Loup on the Riviera.[1]

For Pierre and his second wife São, he renovated their apartment in Sutton Place, New York, and an 18th-century hôtel particulier in the Rue Férou, Paris.[1] From 1965 to 1975, for Pierre and São Schlumberger, he restored and modernised the Quinta do Vinagre, a large estate on the Portuguese coast.[1]
