A 32 m² packed with details in Versailles

The challenge: changing everything without moving anything. 32 m² Versailles, France 40 000 € Radically minimal One-bedroom Brisson Architecte

Although cleverly appointed, Nicolas' apartment was in need of a contemporary update. To help him transform his 32-square-meter space in Versailles, he turned to architect Jules Brisson.

The geometry of the space has been preserved, with an entrance that blends seamlessly into the living room. With a column, a lintel, and a shelf, the project takes on the appearance of a stylistic exercise.

Refined yet warm, the living room strikes a balance between clean lines and soft materials. The custom-designed furniture anchors the eye and organizes the space. The result is a minimalist interior, an atmosphere that Nicolas deliberately sought to create.

An architectural workspace has been integrated into the living room. A large, almost cantilevered desktop sits under massive wooden storage units that seem to levitate away from the ceiling. A subtle balance connects the elements together.

Architect Jules Brisson purposely adopted a vocabulary of simple elements, highlighted by meticulous assembly. The precision of the details became an aesthetic in its own right. The half-sphere of the lamp, for example, echoes the triangular geometry of the custom-made cupboards.

Compact yet spacious, the kitchen is laid out in a single line. The wooden furniture echoes the style of the living room, while the colors of the walls and storage units are inspired by stone.
With its generous 160-centimeter-wide bed, the alcove bedroom is designed to feel like a cozy cocoon. The Trianon green color scheme complements the mineral tones, creating a soothing, almost monastic retreat.
Combining a variety of materials with geometric precision, the bathroom blends diffused lighting with meticulous details. The choice of tiles, understated yet precise, reveals the care taken in the design. Every effort has been made to optimize this space.
