RENOVATION AFTER PURCHASING AN APARTMENT IN PARIS XV
VIENNA MARBLE PROJECT
A modern Parisian apartment
Like this "colonial white" granite found in the worktop, the credenza, as well as in the layout of the niches. The choice of flooring was also important.
We are not in a loft, nor in an industrial inspiration. The codes are those of a warm apartment, which could be straight out of Alvar Aalto's architecture. It is in this sense that we have chosen a light oak parquet, very little treated, with rather thin blades.
Development to purchase, decompartmentalization creation of opening. Art deco inspiration, then brass, forest green, walnut trend. Refined interior, fairly classic taste. Yellow for color peps. Reminder of nature with wallpaper and colors (forest green). Furniture a little 70s (Mad Men) SMEG... Current trends contemporary touches art deco, gypsy (caning and natural fabrics) and 70's. If the design is refined, the materials used are noble, natural, and warm. .
Bespoke furniture
The challenge of this apartment, after having opened up to the maximum and having knocked down the partitions, was to arrange a room with obtuse angles. So we had the idea of designing a piece of furniture that would fill that angle and make the most of it so as not to lose space. Between the living room and the entrance, therefore, is nestled a magnificent custom-made piece of furniture 7 m long, in walnut.
On the entrance side, the storage unit is used for coats, shoes and golf clubs. On the living room side, it is both a TV stand and a storage unit (decoder, stereo system, etc.).
We thought of this piece of furniture as a single element: common thread to connect the living spaces: entrance, living room, kitchen.
The claustra, also in walnut, is a technical feat since it is frameless here, it was a question here of not having any visible fixings. It serves as a separation and also distinguishes the spaces: it closes off the kitchen. It is also intriguing when a newcomer enters the apartment.

We wanted it anchored in our time, while resecting the sixties codes. Thus the kitchen is integrated as a “stage background”, and is connected to the dining room by a large library which also forms the link with the entrance gallery.
