How could we open up the layout while preserving the character of each room? That was our challenge. We removed the partition between living and dining rooms, along with the corridor wall. A slatted solid-oak screen replaced the latter, offering glimpses into the living room. The slats are angled so that the room is concealed when approached from the entrance, while the entrance cupboard is barely visible from the living room. The view opens fully when looking back towards the entrance from within the apartment. Another significant challenge was to preserve the existing period cornices after removing the partitions. A lowered ceiling with recessed spotlights finishes the corridor and entrance.
The screen is complemented by a low multimedia unit replacing a badly damaged marble fireplace. Only the overmantel mirror and upper wall mouldings were retained.
A bicycle-storage unit we had designed for the previous apartment takes a central position in the dining area. To emphasise the depth of the double reception room, we painted midnight blue on the wall containing the retained fireplace.
