Juliette and Maxime dreamed of finding the perfect apartment for both family life and entertaining in Paris. Their goal? To settle down with their two children in the heart of their favorite neighborhood—close to the Jardin du Ranelagh and top schools. Welcome to their home.

The meeting with Maison Kyka

Once Juliette and Maxime had defined their priorities, Eugénie launched a thorough search for the ideal property. She uncovered a 200 sq. m apartment in need of complete renovation, ideally located and matching the couple’s criteria. After skillful negotiations, Eugénie succeeded in reducing the price by €200,000, giving the new owners more flexibility for their renovation project.

An exceptional renovation

Juliette and Maxime had one guiding vision: to create a refined, timeless interior that respected the elegance of classic Haussmann style. Our studio undertook a full transformation of this apartment, which hadn’t been touched since the 1960s. The goal was to enhance its original charm—Hungarian point parquet flooring, exquisite moldings, and fireplaces—while infusing it with character. Bold colors and striking tones were chosen to complement these features. Wallpaper also played a key role in the design, used to highlight historic details while modernizing them with a distinctive, personal twist. Floral and animal motifs were especially prominent.

Refined and modern comfort

The apartment was entirely reconfigured to meet today’s standards, with a full electrical overhaul, integrated smart home features, and a reversible air conditioning system. The street-facing windows were replaced with custom-made, double-glazed models that preserved their original appearance. The kitchen now features a true induction range and a built-in wine cellar.

The Iconic Detail

The majestic entrance gallery sets the tone for this sophisticated family home. The wall facing the door was painted entirely black to add a bold contemporary touch. This statement is enhanced by Gucci’s animal-print wallpaper, framed within the moldings like a piece of art.

La Muette: Elegance and Discretion in the Heart of the 16th

With its grand avenues, private mansions, and preserved gardens, La Muette epitomizes refined and discreet Parisian living. Nestled in the 16th arrondissement, this coveted neighborhood offers tranquil streets, stately Haussmann architecture, and close proximity to the Bois de Boulogne. Between luxury boutiques, charming local markets, and cultural institutions like the Fondation Le Corbusier, La Muette is a prestigious address where elegance meets the true art of Parisian life.
