Architects Antoine Geiger and August Hijlkema transformed an outdated house into a serene, light-filled home of 646 square feet. Emphasizing spatial dynamics, they reworked the structure to add layers of volume and texture, featuring a striking staircase and a tranquil garden that transports residents from the bustle of Paris. Select materials like a green onyx sink and mineral-green terrazzo floor were incorporated to draw from the locality while maintaining a modest aesthetic. This combination ensures richness in simplicity and invites a sense of calm introspection throughout the space.
"We didn't want to keep anything from the existing little house, which had been completely cobbled together over the years by its previous owner."
"We cleaned up the whole thing, right down to the staircases. Everything was reworked. We tried to think of the home as a place where time stands still."
