Roof-top flat in Paris

Posted

This is the home of Isabelle, Matthieu, and their 4-year-old son Arsène. Isabelle and Matthieu, both architects, transformed the top floor of a Parisian building into a small cosy house. In an interview to MILK Magazine, Isabelle says: « Every two weeks, I change something in the apartment. We have an area of 70 square meters, it is small, but we are expanding progressively, when neighboring rooms are for sale ». White walls are rare in this apartment, where gray or stone colours are prefered. They mainly used dark collors, as Isabelle explains her conception of cozy: « Contrary to popular belief, dark colors are very warm. I prefer to enhance a little space by dark tones ». Lots of things in the apartment are made-to-measure: the door, the shelves in the kitchen, the fireplace, the stairs, the wooden hut in the bedroom…are all drawn by Isabelle and Matthew.

Modernity with freedom of movement

Posted

First they wanted a Canadian home into the wild. Second, a home that provides well-being for their children, combined with a « not minimalist » modernity. A real challenge for the designers of Studio René Desjardins who had to listen to customer desires but also to shake their bearings. To the question of well-being, the designers created a space that provides freedom of movement for the children: big volumes that offer playing areas and fluidity from a room to another. Moreover, everything was made to facilitate the contact with nature and to let the landscape penetrate into the home.

Artistic shots of colours

Posted

This three bedroom loft in Stockholm has the typical Scandinavian mix of wood and white, contrasted by deep touches of colours. Pink carpet and curtains, blue wall, and a variety of art paintings and artworks so that you may think you are in an art gallery. This originality of colours is present in the whole apartment, where each bedroom is characterized by a colour : pink, blue or orange. In addition to that, a great feeling of space emanates from this loft with the spacious open space kitchen and the high clearance with the exposed beams.

Nature on the doorstep

Posted

Hidden away in lush vegetation, this California home inspires nature and serenity. Supermodel Tatjana Patitz wanted her home « to feel as close to nature as possible » : outdoor bamboo rainshower, terrace, lots of wood, flowers, double-height windows and high ceiling in the living room to let the light come in… and a beautiful natural bathroom !

Royal blue and color harmony

Posted

When I first saw this place, that’s the colorful association of the painting on the wall, the cushions on the sofa and the carpet that catched my attention. The predominance of royal blue and red bring the exact touch of color and harmony that was needed in this typical Scandinavian apartment.
