Serious restructuring & harmonious decoration

She is Italian, he is French: Italian design for a Parisian apartment! This project unfolded in two major stages. First, the apartment, whose condition called for a complete renovation, was entirely rethought in terms of circulation and layout.

The kitchen, which occupied a poorly arranged space at the back of the apartment, was moved next to the living area. A space entirely devoted to daytime life now sits on the street side, served by the entrance gallery. On the night side, moving the kitchen allowed for the creation of an additional bedroom, whose flexible layout can also accommodate a study area. The main bedroom features a compact yet supremely comfortable shower room, while the main bathroom houses a very large walk-in shower. Finally, a fairly compact laundry room was created for the machines and cleaning products one does not necessarily want on display in a bathroom.

Following this major renovation work, Véronique guided the clients through the selection of all the furniture and decoration: tables, chairs, fabrics, curtains — everything was chosen so that each space would have its own style, in keeping with the guiding thread of the project.
