The curvy entrance hallway is a real invitation to discover the living room, the jewel of the project, positioned at the far end of the apartment.
For once, let’s start with the bedroom. In the master suite, full-height wooden closets offer generous hanging space. Reflecting the desire of Vincent Eschalier and his team not to visually overload the space, the handles are integrated into the joinery design.
There are no partitions between shower rooms and bedrooms, which saves space. Sinks and showers are an integral part of the design of these two intimate rooms.
Vincent Eschalier loves the interplay of materials. In the shower, terrazzo and marble, selected for their similar hues, stand elegantly side by side. The proximity of the two materials invites us to linger over the details of each.
The sophisticated materials of the shower room contrast with the sober, almost monastic character of the bedroom, painted entirely in white to reflect the natural light.
Located in a former private mansion, this high-end apartment is inspired by the codes of the art gallery and luxury retail. The apparent minimalism is belied by the preciousness of the materials used.
Daylight is reflected by the marble walls of the kitchen cabinet, making it appear to shimmer. A key piece in the project, it has all the hallmarks of a work of art.
The design of the cabinet required particular attention to ensure that the cut-out of the cupboard doors perfectly matched the natural grain of the material.
The apartment’s exposed brick walls were painted white to create an immaculate setting for the noble materials chosen by Vincent Eschalier and his customers.
The architecture studio pays attention to detail… The airplane-wing edges of the marble slabs add lightness and finesse to the overall look of the furniture.
Strategically placed at the far end of the room, a custom cabinet with mirror panels visually enlarges the space while concealing the kitchen’s functional elements.
Located on the4th floor, this courtyard apartment features a long, linear facade, punctuated by numerous generously-sized windows that provide plenty of natural light.
Taking advantage of an old doorway, the architects designed a charming bookcase. But there was no question of giving in to habit by proposing wooden shelves! In keeping with the rest of the project, the studio opted instead for stone shelving.
Shower walls, shelves, kitchen units, furniture… the gray palette extends to every surface in the apartment, including the floor. The use of waxed concrete reinforces the monochrome nature of the project and, through its neutrality, helps to sublimate the owners’ design pieces and works of art.
