Design Approach
Bring the latest amenities and authentic Parisian style to a 17th century building in the heart of the city
Convert small rooms into a single large room with a kitchen that blends in as a living space with black & white and warm exotic wenge wood for simplicity of lines and striking elegance
Restore the 17th century beams to life to bring the authenticity of the building history and location, respecting the Parisian style of oak hardwood floors, curtain windows and art
Create a separate small bedroom with unique decor, freshness and coziness
Optimize this small 420 sq.ft. space with many built-ins storage and strategic lighting focusing on key visual points and art pieces
Red/orange tones and ethnic touch bring warmth to the modern monochrome design
Make the space open and bright to let the view in the room, bringing mirrors to expand the space
