Paris, France

St Germain

Parisian Pied-a-Terre

What we started with

Transform a dilapidated small place in a great location,  into a Parisian pied-à-terre combining the best of French style with the comfort and convenience of quality, modern amenities.

  • Create an updated one bedroom/LR-kitchen/Bath condo rental property

  • Manage reconstruction within the city codes and safety standards in a 400+ years old building 

  • Potentially have to move sustaining walls with the engineering challenges that would come with it 

  • Offer state-of-the art amenities including A/C

Design Approach

Bring the latest amenities and authentic Parisian style to a 17th century building in the heart of the city

  1. 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 

  2. 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

  3. Create a separate small bedroom with unique decor, freshness and coziness

  4. Optimize this small 420 sq.ft. space with many built-ins storage and strategic lighting focusing on key visual points and art pieces

  5. Red/orange tones and ethnic touch bring warmth to the modern monochrome design

  6. Make the space open and bright to let the view in the room, bringing mirrors to expand the space
