An apartment in the heart of historic Paris, newly purchased by clients and perfectly habitable as it stood. What could we bring to it?Although we often address specific spatial, technical and layout challenges, we are also commissioned to transform homes that function well but do not reflect their owners’ tastes.
This one-bedroom apartment had a large living room, a dark bedroom defined by a wardrobe opening both into the bedroom and entrance corridor, a separate WC and a tiny shower room.
Our work focused on:- converting the shower room into a laundry and wardrobe area
- creating a proper, spacious and pared-back shower room as a link between bedroom and living room
- introducing a raised platform to connect the wet rooms
- designing a combined bookcase, TV unit and writing desk as the focal point of the living and dining area
- opening up the feel of the corridor through colour, lighting and carefully placed spatial details
We radically transformed the apartment through a combination of raw and refined materials: solid-oak flooring, blue-grey slate, slate mosaics and satin lacquer.
The suspended ceiling echoes the raised wet-room platform, marking the transition from functional areas—WC, laundry, entrance and corridor—to the living space.
The original beams, repainted white, enhance the brightness of this top-floor apartment and allowed us to introduce a matt-black kitchen.
