Project Bel-Air

In-depth renovation for this 75 sqm… totally stripped down, even the hard wood floor was removed (scratched and cleaned then laid again).
The entrance, kitchen and bathroom were completely restructured, the space is now more functional and circulation more fluid between the rooms. We put borrowed light frames high up on the bathroom walls to enable natural light to penetrate through. To optimize the space and bring character at the same time, we designed several bespoke furnishings for this apartment: a big library now flanks the marble fireplace in the living room, a walk-in closet in the master bedroom and two additional bespoke furnishing in the corridor offer generous storage space.

Style wise, our clients’ desire was to add contemporaneity to the place while keeping the traditional codes of old Parisian apartment. The cornices, the oak wood floors and the three marble fireplaces were restored, we chose deep shade color paints for the furnishings and the kitchen cabinets, to contrast with the white walls. The kitchen countertop in Carrara marble style, the lighting fixtures and other decoration pieces bring an elegant and modern twist to the place.

Before / After

For the living room, we designed a big bespoke library in painted medium and cabinet door in plain oak. The idea was to perfectly fit the black marble fireplace in between and optimize storage space for the all the books that the family owns. The medium was painted with the nuance “Basalt” from Little Greene, a timeless blue black which helps magnify even more the decoration pieces inside.

To separate the living and night areas of the apartment, a full-access sliding door, custom-made. Its size (2,50m*1,10m) enables to keep the volume created by the high ceilings and to have an unobstructed view from the entrance. Painted in the same color as the walls (Slacked Lime 105 from Little Greene), it totally blends into the kitchen décor when closed.

We created a true home kitchen by annexing an unused space to the former kitchenette. Here again a deep rosemary green color was chosen to contrast with the white shell of the walls. The countertop is a Quartz Silestone, Calacatta Gold, with is a marble aspect with golden veining, harmonizing with the brass knobs.
