In four and a half months of work, this apartment made a hell of a time. Witness the water piece: formerly in her juice, she no longer looks like that and that’s good!
When the owners of this 42 m², located 15th arrondissement of Paris, called on the architect Sabrina Julien, founder of the studio Beau Faire, they still hesitated to keep it, as they did not like them anymore. Well inspired, the architect quickly detected the full potential of the place and imagined a two-piece with sweet lines and assertive elegance. Main defect of the apartment, never renovated since its purchase: the absence of a separate room. At fifty years old, living between a click-clack and spaces that mix, it was nothing more attractive! The Beau Faire studio then offered a radical transformation: converting independent cuisine into a real room, both cozy and functional. Seduced by the project, the owners trusted Sabrina Julien and did not hesitate to launch major works to make their apartment as pleasant as perfectly suited to life for two.
And in addition to the kitchen transformed into a bedroom, another technical room required a lot of imagination to project it. I of course want to talk about the bathroom. Despite beautiful volumes, she had never been renovated, like the rest of the apartment. As proof, if one needed one: the bidet that still tried between the toilets and the bathtub … Everything was to be reviewed!
And it’s now done. If the couple’s new bathroom occupies the same location as the old one, the latter has completely changed its face. The architect swapped the bathtub for a large shower, in order to better structure the space. We find the signature of Sabrina Julien with the rounding which she cherishes so much, at the top of the partition, located between the basin and the shower. The furniture, signed by the Polopolo brand, a French specialist in semi-sur-measure, goes perfectly with the sand tint of waxed concrete applied to the floor, as on the walls. A wall lamp signed Mickaël Koska perfects the whole.
At the place where the old bathtub was, a spacious shower (80 x 120 cm) was born. Made of built, it takes up the codes of traditional hammams with its waxed concrete and its small bench integrated into the bottom niche. The latter, imagined to circumvent a technical constraint linked to an impossible formwork to move, has become a charming asset which gives the room all its character.
Thus metamorphosed, this 42 m² offers its owners an elegant, functional and cut to last.
