TRAVIATA

Revisited by interior designer Chrystel Laporte for ARCHIK, it is the result of a bold gamble: bringing a modern touch to an upper-middle-class setting. The result is a warm, family-friendly living space. Contemporary furniture elements sit alongside listed fireplaces and frescoes, superb cabinetwork, ornamental stucco work, and beautiful marquetry in distinctive woods and patterns. The entrance sets the tone and opens on one side onto a reception room enhanced by ceilings with rare rich moldings and frescoes. To the west, a bold, immaculate, spacious, and family-friendly kitchen is located in a former reception room. Widely open to the exterior and bathed in light, it plays on its candor with a lemon yellow metal staircase designed by designer Axel Chay, totally offbeat. Subtly, it leads to a pleasant 27 m² terrace at sunset, where a large table and lounge area blend in a Mediterranean spirit. In a central position, the wooden staircase leads to the first level, where a sleeping area is discovered dressed with a light oak floor and marble fireplaces. To the west, a vast bedroom with its white marble fireplace enjoys an unobstructed view of the heart of the island, and opens onto a sober contemporary bathroom. To the east, two bedrooms share an immaculate bathroom. To complete this beautiful picture, the lower level accommodates a vast space of 120 m² offering a TV lounge that can also serve as a fourth bedroom and a second reception area benefiting from a kitchen and a large counter to host festive evenings. An office space, a bathroom, and a large laundry room complete this level.
