Green with character

Inspired by Haussmannian architecture, this apartment gradually reveals a vibrant and distinctive personality, much like its owner. Deep green kitchen cabinetry is paired with warm wood, rich burgundy accents and botanical wallpaper that brings the interior to life. The layout has been entirely reimagined, transforming this former artist's studio into a welcoming home for one or two people, where functionality, elegance and playful details coexist in perfect balance.

The iconic detail

Brass dachshund-shaped handles adorn the bespoke joinery as a playful nod to the homeowner's favourite companion. An unexpected detail that reveals, beneath the apartment's timeless elegance, the project's true personality.

Sainte-Marguerite: the artisan spirit

In the heart of Paris's 11th arrondissement, Sainte-Marguerite carries forward the creative legacy of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Once home to generations of cabinetmakers, joiners and master craftsmen, the neighbourhood still retains its distinctive character through converted workshops, independent cafés and creative addresses. A vibrant district where heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary design come together in a setting that is unmistakably Parisian.
