housed within a traditional parisian building, french studio- cut architectures have designed a spacious apartment comprised over two floors. conceived as a space that will facilitate the social life of the owners, the living space – located on the ground floor – combines a living room, a kitchen, dining and study, all the while taking advantage of the courtyard views and natural daylight. the eclectic residence features a curved, transparent volume in the living room. the distinctive cubical offers a sense of seclusion and privacy due to the integrated curtains, and in turn, can serve as a study or guest room.

materiality has been used to unify the whole space. every wooden cladding uses walnut which is seen on floor coverings to the ceiling of the glass volume. at the rear of the space, a curved wall mimics the form of the glass wall, hiding the master bedroom, the toilets, the laundry as well as a large staircase leading to the top floor dedicated to the children. built out of raw steel, the staircase and its extended intermediate landing platform offers a quiet and comfortable communal space to relax.
