A 538-square-foot apartment in Courbevoie has undergone an extensive renovation to preserve its historic charm while updating its interior. Key features like moldings and an unusual fireplace were retained. Designers utilized a monochrome palette of soft cream tones for the floors, walls, and ceilings, enhancing the sense of light and space. The layout was extensively redesigned for better flow and circulation, contributing to an open, spacious feeling. An open kitchen with a glass roof further facilitates the fluidity of the design, while graphic contrasts were employed for visual interest.
"From the outset, we decided to keep the moldings and the unusual fireplace. We wanted to preserve this historic envelope while creating a monochrome box."
"We've created a sense of movement that wasn't there before. After all, the apartment is small, so this circulation gives a feeling of spaciousness while creating perspectives that didn't exist before."
"The designers used the same soft, luminous, and sensual cream tone for the floors, walls, and ceilings while keeping as many traces of the past as possible."
"We used some graphic elements to create a sense of contrast."
