"Tucked down a cobblestoned, tree-lined alley in the 11th arrondissement, just steps from the Place de la Nation, a Paris loft has been given a new life. The space, a former artist's studio turned residence, opens directly onto the street and is crowned by a transom window that floods the interior with natural light. Interior designer Caroline Pusset, who founded Studio Rœus with her sister, points to the soaring proportions as a starting point for the redesign."
""The ceilings are more than 13 feet high, which immediately made us think of treating the apartment as a loft," she says. "We added a mezzanine in the main room to house the bedroom." Pusset owns the home with her partner, photographer Thomas Tissandier. The apartment is organized into a series of distinct volumes. At the front, a generous double-height space on the ground floor combines the entry, kitchen, and living area."
Tucked along a cobblestoned alley in Paris's 11th arrondissement, a former artist's studio opens onto the street and is crowned by a transom window that floods the interior with natural light. Soaring ceilings over 13 feet allowed the addition of a mezzanine in the main room to house the bedroom, creating a loft-like spatial arrangement. The plan is organized into distinct volumes: a generous double-height front combining entry, kitchen and living areas, and a split staircase toward an office and bedroom at the rear. The basement was converted into a large walk-in closet with a bathroom, reducing storage needs in living spaces. The mezzanine and dressing-room/bathroom create a spa-inspired retreat and Studio Rœus's interlocking-cube design expands usable area within the original 484-square-foot plan.
