"This house is like an extension of my personal fantasy of Paris,"
"It's an apartment that straddles two centuries. It feels like the home of an intellectual, maybe an architect or a poet."
"It's a "masculine triplex," to use his language, without too many frills."
The 431-square-foot apartment occupies a Marais hôtel particulier once owned by the Marquise de Sévigné, with double-height living-room windows revealing the building's historic pedigree. The interior favors simplicity and sensual minimalism, prioritizing architecture and surfaces such as lacquer and mirror to evoke a jewel-box quality. Design influences include Le Corbusier and Bauhaus principles. NDA Noël Dominguez Architecte executed a three-floor renovation linked by a spiraling staircase inspired by Tina and Michael Chow's Sutton Place apartment. Ground-floor rosewood paneling unifies dining and living spaces, while access to the kitchen is concealed by a curved Macassar ebony door recalling Villa Tugendhat.
