The union of the two apartments has resulted in a new distribution of space. Here, the first unit becomes a large living area with a kitchen and living room.
The coffee table, made of hollow bricks and marble plank, was designed by the architect. The sofa was custom-designed in Okoume wood. An upholsterer made the seats and backrests.
This wood is very present in the apartment, in a variety of ways, as seen here in the wall cladding. The combination with the metal shelves is one of the unifying elements of the decor.
Okoume wood is also used in the kitchen, for low cabinet faces. The most technical elements were produced in a workshop, but some parts were worked on site by a carpenter.
Concrete is another raw material that acts as a common thread. In the kitchen, it gives life to a Brutalist island unit, designed like a sculpture. It can be used as a countertop or as a dining table for up to six guests.
The extractor hood is proudly showcased as it is covered in zellige tiles. It adds contrast and color to energize the atmosphere.
This large corridor is the point of convergence between the two former apartments. It is highly optimized in terms of storage space and incorporates all the key materials we have already encountered. Roof windows were installed to take advantage of natural zenithal light.
Historic elements were carefully preserved and enhanced during the renovation. Such is the case with these moldings, which materialize the headboard. Combined with elevated storage units, the overall effect is one of finesse.
An old doorway becomes both a metal bookcase and a storage unit. Another clever way to pay tribute to the past, while letting the light spread accross the room.
Both bedrooms have been designed as hotel suites. They display touches of cast-in-place concrete, here combined with ceramic tiles, a nod to the hood.
These immaculate, crumpled curtains exude elegance, caressing the curves of the concrete before resting delicately on the slats of the restored original oak parquet floor.
The second shower room, while incorporating the same material, takes up the Brutalist codes of the kitchen. A different ambience that doesn’t preclude the establishment of a common thread through touches of round elements.
