In a 1930s building, this apartment with beautiful art-deco rosettes required a total rehabilitation.

Target

This apartment benefits from significant assets: beautiful volumes, a pleasant distribution, a crossing light. In its original state, the toilets were on the balcony, the kitchen was independent, the small living room was no longer functional, the living room lacked light. The objective is to connect the living rooms and give them back meaning, to write the history of the new occupants while respecting the place.

Course of action

To bring coherence to the different spaces, while proposing a real decorative bias.

Achievement

The living room becomes an office and has been opened on the corridor, thanks to a set of light wood claustras. The corridor, original by its U shape is highlighted by a game of color. The partition between the kitchen and the living room is transformed into a light wood skylight, thus bringing light and finally connecting the two spaces. Storage units have been specially designed for the office and the parents’ bedroom, and particular attention has been paid to the choice of materials in the kitchen and bathroom.

Course of action

This exterior was worked in two planes, signified by large horizontal elements, namely the low wall and the planting spaces.

Achievement

The result is a clever play of contrasts between sharp colors and a choice of plants with characterful foliage. Strelitzia and false pepper trees are green in all seasons, responding with character to the minimalist design painted on the wall. The low wall is long and accommodates the summer kitchen and garden spaces, creating an impression of perspective and depth.

Before …

In the heart of an old district of Marseille, a fisherman’s house with a bleached façade has been given a new lease on life after a thorough renovation.

Target

To bring freshness, to remain in the Mediterranean theme of the house, and to preserve itself from the opposite.

Course of action

Provide residents and visitors with a unique experience around local plants and color.

Achievement

The patio, mainly mineral, highlights the beginnings of color, by a blue planter with a lush look, in agreement with other elements: swing, shutters, interior colors. Through the interior staircase, the living room reveals a second terrace, a real living space. To limit the vis-à-vis, the pergola has been woven with ropes, to become the support of two bougainvilleas. The color is brought by the choice of the decoration – cushions, plaids, furniture. The linear white pots placed on the wall, host climbing and falling plants, mitigating the linearity of the latter. Ravel’s terracotta pots serve the space and the plants, bringing softness to the whole. By going back up the central staircase of the house, a last layer is revealed to us: the roof terrace with the appearance of a Greek landscape, with this shade of blue on the ground which, on certain days, harmonizes with the sky. The white bench, punctuated with graphic and dry plants, the summer kitchen with white canisses, the woven suspensions and the seaside furniture from Honoré, offer a total change of scenery as soon as the sun comes out.
