Kitchens - LAMINATE Metal, WOOD Oak

Renovation with 19th century roots

In the heart of Paris's fifth arrondissement, a couple decided to take on the challenge of renovating their 65m2 apartment, located on the fourth floor of a building built around 1855. This three-bedroom home was showing signs of aging and required a radical transformation.

Faced with the need to modernize a space that seemed trapped in the past, several challenges arose. The lack of a full bathroom and an impractical layout were priority issues. In addition, the couple wanted a kitchen that would blend effortlessly with the dining room and living room.

The project took as a focal point the partial opening of the central wall. This decision not only optimized the layout but also improved the circulation and fluidity of the space. A full bathroom was also incorporated, and an L-shaped kitchen was designed to open up to the dining room and living room, taking full advantage of natural light and beautiful views of the city.

The kitchen finishes undoubtedly elevate the aesthetics of the space. With base units made of metal laminate and wall units made of wood, a bold and balanced fusion is achieved. This design not only exudes sophistication but also adds a warm touch to the space. Although the kitchen has a generous workspace, special emphasis has been placed on storage, maximizing its capacity.

With this renovation, the couple enjoys a modern and functional space where the past and present coexist in harmony.
