In the heart of the emblematic 6th arrondissement of Paris, this 43 m² apartment was transformed, in less than two months, into a functional, cozy and full of character space.
Jean-Claude and Léa were our clients and also the homeowners. From the very beginning, they challenged us to improve the original layout to create a home that not only reflected the classic style so characteristic of the French capital, but also integrated elements that would give the house personality.
The initial layout presented several challenges. First of all, it had a long hallway that detracted a lot of functionality to the house. In addition, the imbalance between the spaces was very noticeable, as it had a very large living room, but a kitchen that was too small. To solve these problems, we decided to open the kitchen to the living room, thus creating a fluid space that would eliminate the feeling of confinement and provide greater visual amplitude to the whole house.
However, with the design we not only sought to maximize functionality, but also to integrate details that would add personality. To this end, we incorporated solid wood pillars that helped to separate, in a very subtle and elegant way, the kitchen from the living room. In this way, we brought warmth and a sense of connection with nature to the whole space, creating a very relaxing and cozy atmosphere.
These details, together with the use of classic moldings, allowed us to achieve a perfect balance between modern and classic. The result is a Parisian style apartment, totally renovated and with extra character.
But there is more; the marble fireplace, which is an original element of the property, was lovingly restored to perfectly complement the new additions, creating a unique harmony between all the elements.
Now, not only do all the living spaces convey the recognizable Parisian charm, but the apartment feels like a home again , where functionality and aesthetics merge to enhance the quality of life of its guests.
