A Parisian Haussmannian Gem Reimagined.

Nestled in the heart of Paris, this historic Haussmannian apartment has been masterfully transformed after more than 50 years without renovation. The redesign honors its classical heritage while introducing contemporary elegance, creating a perfect harmony between tradition and modernity.

The agency was involved throughout the entire process, from the initial design phase to the final stages of construction. We managed every aspect of the project, ensuring a seamless execution and overseeing all necessary permits and work. Remarkably, the entire renovation, including the design and construction phases, was completed in just six months.

A Gallery of Rosewood Arches

Upon entering, a gallery with polished rosewood arches immediately captures the eye, leading to a sequence of interconnected rooms. This dramatic entrance sets the tone for the entire apartment, where light and proportion take center stage. The herringbone parquet floors and restored moldings preserve the charm of the past, while carefully chosen materials and finishes bring a modern sensibility.

The Kitchen

The kitchen, both functional and elegant, features professional-grade appliances, polished Ruoms stone flooring, and a striking mosaic backsplash. Matte red cabinetry adds warmth and character, complemented by iconic design pieces like Hans Wegner chairs and Viabizzuno pendant lights. Accents such as linen tablecloths and artisanal wooden boards complete the inviting aesthetic.

One standout feature is a custom-designed bistro-style banquette, which not only adds a Parisian flair but also maximizes space and comfort. Natural banana fiber blinds dress the windows, offering texture and softness to the bright, airy spaces.

Living, Resting, Bathing

The living areas strike a balance between vintage and contemporary, with curated furniture and art that reflect timeless sophistication. Mid-century modern pieces, ceramics, and sculptures by renowned artists are thoughtfully placed, creating a sense of refinement and warmth.

In the bedroom, soft tones and luxurious materials like linen and alpaca create a serene retreat. The custom rosewood headboard integrates practical storage, while built-in bookshelves frame curated collections of ceramics and bronzes.

The bathroom is a sanctuary of indulgence, entirely clad in Carrara marble. A freestanding bathtub sits as the centerpiece, surrounded by flowing linen curtains that add an element of softness to the luxurious space.

The apartment blends classical architecture with thoughtful, modern design to create a timeless and inviting home that pays tribute to its Parisian roots while embracing a contemporary lifestyle.
