Reimagining a Belle Époque pied-à-terre for contemporary life.

The intention

High ceilings, cornices and tall windows set the tone. Carefully detailed joinery reshapes daily life. A blue window seat echoes the sea, walnut brings warmth, and collected objects find their place.

What design brings

Rethinking the circulation reveals what the apartment already held: generous proportions and beautiful light. Built-in furniture releases space while preserving its history.

Inside and out. Five views of one place.

From the wrought-iron balcony, a white French window opens onto a sitting room with original cornices, a blue bench and walnut joinery.
