We have all known this board that has become a storage over time. However, this is not inevitable when we discover what the pros of Maéma architects have done. Ideas of madness to the key.
Hidden near the Lachaise Father, this exotic wooden house is an unexpected cocoon in the heart of the 11th arrondissement. Seduced by its small garden and its tranquility, two rare things in the city, the owners wanted to rethink the premises in order to exploit the atypical volumes as much as possible. To do this, they entrusted the project to Maéma Architects.
With its 200 m² with an irregular mono-oriented shape, the house lacked optimization. Despite her large bay windows and her beautiful volumes, she did not meet the desires and needs of the family who was going to live there, as she dreamed of space, light and an inspired style from the 70s to Californian vibes.
Very inspired, the architects Rachel Marcus and Nicolas Aubert-Maguéro have redesigned the places around a large open ground floor, imagined as a coherent and fluid set. In five months and with a budget of around 170,000 euros, they achieved a renovation as ambitious and warm. Result: an air of California now blows on this peaceful corner of the 11th.
On the first floor of the house was a very ordinary office which was going to become a comfortable room. Not quite optimized and saturated with objects, cables and documents of all kinds, it still had a sacred asset: privileged access to the nearby small terrace.
In order to create a vast suite thought as a real living space for parents, the architects of the premises have chosen to merge the original parental room with the old office and what a good idea! Each area was thus delimited with intelligence, without partitions. The sleeping area is now separated from the office, installed on the window side, by a large mid-height library which offers storage on this side, as on the other. The set is warmed by enveloping shades, a graphic wallpaper signed Pascale Risbourg (Loft Jazz model), and an original parquet simply sanded and then varnished in colorless mat.
Behind the master bedroom, a bathroom extended the space. Inside: a large shower and a double basin furniture that runs along the wall. Here, the blue earthenware signed Casalux go perfectly with the white tiles and a duo of golden mirrors.
Worthy of a starry hotel, this parental suite quickly makes you forget the soulless office which formerly occupied part of this space. Hat Les Archis!
