Sublimated industrial spirit

This magnificent Paris flat has undergone a remarkable renovation by a French interior architect and designer.

Guided by the industrial spirit of the building, this inspired place unfolds its living spaces with a skilful approach to detail, colour and materials.

Set in a quiet street in the 10th arrondissement, this flat enjoys a sought-after location with its bohemian, arty feel, close to galleries, terraces and a famous jazz club.Located on a high floor, the flat enjoys absolute peace and quiet and unobstructed views of the sky and the rooftops of Paris.

The flat has a triple aspect and comprises a living room with built-in sofa-bed, a dining room, a study area, a kitchen with dining area, two bedrooms and a shower room.

Its interior spaces have been renovated with a host of influences, creating a contemporary living space with a refined vintage feel.

The exposed structural concrete posts and beams contrast with the walls, which are covered in light matt plaster with a slight patina.

The light-coloured wood frames, patterned or brightly glazed ceramic tiles, light-coloured carpeting and parquet flooring create a bright, warm atmosphere.

A modernist setting

Built for offices, the building was constructed in reinforced concrete using a post-and-beam structure that frees the walls from their load-bearing role, allowing great flexibility in the layout of the spaces. The volumes benefit from vast openings and abundant natural light.

The building’s façade features simple, functional lines. The programme takes up the industrial style that is emblematic of workshop buildings, derived from modernist aesthetic codes.
