Ranelagh

RESIDENTIAL · Paris 16th, Ranelagh · 2026 · 230 m² · Full renovation of an apartment

An apartment of 230 m² on the third floor of a stone building in the sixteenth arrondissement, between the Trocadéro gardens and the Bois de Boulogne. It had stood empty for several years, and demolition began before the plan was settled. The layout is reversed: the kitchen takes the place of the former main bedroom, the dining room and living room run along the street, and three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office occupy the rear.

The passages from one room to the next are tall, narrow and clad in oak, and their cut corners give the apartment its motif. The veneer is stained a caramel chosen for this household, answering the distressed mirrors and a marble veined red and blue, the same used at Versailles. The rest holds to beiges and creams, with Art Deco surfacing through a seventies filter.

The original chevron floors were repaired and the mouldings restored with their shell motifs. In the entrance, geometric stained glass in yellow and green was drawn for the apartment. Above the table hangs a draped fabric shade. Almost every piece of furniture was designed and made by the studio, from the tubular J-shaped sofa in the living room to the round kitchen table, whose pink linoleum passes for leather.
