A magazine dedicated to compact interiors

Renovating an older apartment to suit its residents’ lifestyles better is the challenge of this Parisian project.  The couple—he’s an airline pilot, and she’s a flight attendant—entrusted Sylvain Marceau’s Studio M with designing an interior that accommodates their way of life with all its departures, arrivals and irregular schedules.

On the sixth floor of a building constructed in 1968, Manon and Paul imagined a Parisian apartment bathed in a different kind of light: that of the South. Working with architect Thierry Peltrault, the couple transformed a neglected two-room apartment into a sunny, colorful and fluid space, designed to accompany their daily lives as much as their desire to get away from it all.
