A commercial client commissioned us to create a Parisian pied-à-terre in the heart of the 8th arrondissement as a rental investment. The property was a dilapidated, unusable ground-floor space with high ceilings. Our idea was to create two levels: a living and dining area with an adjoining kitchen below, and two double bedrooms on a mezzanine. Each bedroom is reached by its own staircase, with a connection between the two. To bring light into the bedrooms, we alternated glazed and solid panels within solid-oak joinery.
