Our challenge was to completely redesign a small house tucked into a private passage in Paris: 93 m² over three levels. The ground floor contains the living room and open kitchen, the first floor forms the principal suite, and the basement accommodates a guest bedroom, shower room, laundry and guest WC.

Three architectural ideas guided the project:
a staircase at the rear of the floor floating along the kitchen partition, with a glass splashback framing and highlighting its cantilevered treads
a fully bespoke kitchen island, clad in engineered stone, with a dining counter turning into a table for seven guests
a deconstructed dressing area, with an opening that brings in natural light
The result is a compact yet carefully optimised house with high-quality finishes, with particular care given to natural light and bespoke joinery.
