No doubt about it, this is Paris! The Capital’s upper floors offer the advantage of a quaint, unobstructed view over the zinc roofs.
Made-to-measure French poplar storage units were built into every nook and cranny, including under the sloping roof. The 70s spage-age brushed aluminum suspension system is a particular highlight.
The original terracotta floor tiles have been preserved. The made-to-measure bench seat is upholstered in Normandy linen for a soft, comfortable feel.
Stepping back into the living area, we find another vintage piece: an adorable round-top Kub table by Tolix®, straight from the 1950s. Full-height storage units also abound.
The kitchen units continue the use of French poplar. The wood blends harmoniously with the finish of the walls: a coating made of earth from excavations in the Île-de-France region.
In addition to being environmentally-friendly, earthen plaster regulates humidity levels and reduces thermal bridging. It also contributes to the apartment’s sound and heat insulation.
The credenza is made of recycled tiles, contributing to the space’s minimalist, sustainable spirit.
This 15 m² studio has the luxury of a separate sleeping area, with a built-in double bed created. The Philippe Rogier wall sconce continues in the same design vein as the living room suspension.
The bespoke headboard incorporates several types of storage: bedside table, shelves… But also a telecommuting corner, which is highly appreciated in such a compact space.
Surprisingly, the foot of the bed conceals yet more storage, in the form of a bookcase niche. It houses a pretty 1920s stained-glass window, also hand-picked.
Besides being plain gorgeous, it fulfill a hidden mission: to convey extra light into the shower room just behind it.
Echoing the kitchen area, the bathroom is uncluttered and fitted exclusively with second-hand materials: from the tiles to the sink to the faucet.
