Duplex Saint-Michel – Atypical Three-Room Apartment Converted into a Duplex Paris / France / 2021
This project involved transforming a 45 m² (Carrez) / 50 m² floor area Parisian apartment into a duplex with a summer house atmosphere. The renovation was extensive, beginning with the strengthening and modification of the worn-out structure and framing. Key features include a custom-designed staircase that connects the main floor to a newly created attic space, a bright kitchen separated from the living room by a sculptural yellow arch, and a minimalist bathroom with marine-inspired green tiles.
The materials selected reflect a summer-like feel with a combination of light birchwood, exposed bricks, and warm terracotta tones, evoking the seaside even in the heart of Paris. The apartment now boasts a luminous living space, enhanced by clever use of mirrors, sculptural elements, and natural light from the skylights and large windows.

Ce projet a consisté à transformer un appartement parisien de 45 m² (loi Carrez) / 50 m² de surface au sol en un duplex avec une atmosphère de maison de vacances. La rénovation fut extensive, avec notamment le renforcement et la modification de la structure usée. Les éléments clés comprennent un escalier sur mesure reliant le rez-de-chaussée à un nouvel espace sous les combles, une cuisine lumineuse séparée du séjour par une arche sculpturale jaune, et une salle de bain minimaliste aux carreaux verts inspirés par l’océan.
Les matériaux sélectionnés reflètent une ambiance estivale, mêlant bois de bouleau clair, briques apparentes, et des tons chauds de terre cuite, évoquant une atmosphère balnéaire au cœur de Paris. L’appartement se distingue désormais par un espace de vie lumineux, grâce à l’utilisation intelligente des miroirs, des éléments sculpturaux et de la lumière naturelle provenant des fenêtres et des lucarnes.
