The team’s goal was to pay tribute to the historical features of the interior in all its classic details, while maintaining the integrity of the entire living space. At the client’s request, the team completed the interior in laconic and noble colors, combining a variety of products made from natural stone and brass.

Layout

During the work process, the designers had to redesign the main area and dismantle the wall in order to visually expand the space and let more natural light in. The huge windows offer a landscape view of the Tuileries Garden – the most significant and oldest park in the French style, which will take your breath away at all times. In general, the 203 square meter apartment consists of a spacious hallway, a living room combined with a dining room and kitchen, a master’s area with a 2-level dressing room and a bathroom, as well as a children’s room and a guest bedroom area with a bathroom.

Concept

One of the key ideas of this interior is a mirror wall in the living room, which is mounted around the kitchen on the entire plane from the floor to the ceiling, reflecting the space and creating the impression of infinity. In this project, the studio team was traditionally inspired by natural stone, and according to our sketches, Arrital Paris kitchens produced an island, which is a place for storage and part of a complete kitchen ensemble.

The living room, which has a lounge area and a real old fireplace, is created as the most spectacular room filled with clean air. The absence of sharp corners emphasizes the rounded shape of Eichholtz furniture. As for the atmosphere, the light composition of Luxxu wall sconces in the form of brass pipes illuminates the process of dining or relaxing. Walking along the traditional Versailles oak parquet, which is the basis of almost the entire space, you can get to know every corner of this apartment.

The master bedroom is accessed through a fully fitted Poliform walk-in wardrobe. Thanks to the ceiling height of more than 4 meters the team divided it into 2 levels. The bathroom is completely covered with marble and decorated with the world’s most powerful Italian sanitary ware brands Gessi and Antonio Lupi. In such a custom decoration, it not only shines, but also looks like a real work of interior art.
