Parisian apartment with rooftop
- Dimensions: 100m²
- Localisation: Montorgueil (Paris 2)
- Objective: Creating a 3rd bedroom without reducing the living room
An exceptional view
This 100 m² apartment consisted of a beautiful living area, a small kitchen, two bedrooms with bathrooms and a study. Bathed in natural light, the apartment above all benefits from an exceptional panorama over the rooftops of Paris, Saint-Eustache church and the Centre Pompidou. Captivated by this view, the owners entrusted us with the renovation of the apartment, combining spatial reconfiguration and the creation of custom-made furniture.
As part of this interior architecture project, the aim was to reveal the full potential of the space: optimize without overloading, structure without partitioning, and enhance the height and natural light to create a contemporary family apartment.
Create a third bedroom
One of the main objectives of the renovation was to integrate a third bedroom without altering the dimensions and brightness of the living area. The interior architect went even further by introducing an additional sleeping space on a mezzanine, allowing guests to be accommodated.
A monumental bookcase to structure the space
The interior design draws inspiration from the organization and decoration of Parisian lofts, where raw materials and clean lines interact with the existing structure.
A monumental custom bookcase was designed as a key structural element of the project. It is organized around a load-bearing wall, enveloping the structure while concealing a staircase leading to the mezzanine.
Steel uprights extend up to the ridge beam, emphasizing the verticality of the cathedral-like volume. The layout alternates open and closed modules, playing with density and lightness as the eye moves upward.
