Paris Apartment ‘Les Puits’
Residential
Architecture + Interiors
925 sf
Paris, France
This four bedroom apartment at rooftop level captures the essence of Parisian light, transforming with hours and seasons, seemingly warm silver or blue-grey. The infusion of these qualities begins with large French doors onto the terrace, complemented by inboard light wells covered in diffuse translucent or indigo film. Rustic grey oak floor and natural oak wall panels are soft and timeless. ‘Cloud’ mirrors with antique effect recall aged photos; striated glass bedroom doors create silvery vibrations.
Minimal bedroom suites feature French grey armoires and warm fabrics. Compact bathrooms, lined in white mosaic, become glazed ‘lanterns’ behind taupe silk curtains; light coves above levitate ceilings of the chambers.
Décor follows this theme with blue accents, reflections and chiaroscuro. A pendant of rice paper ‘sails’ is paired with a classic Noguchi coffee table; silver filament globes are reflected in mirrors. The sense of generous lightness fills the compact home with a sense of wellbeing.
