You had to be well accompanied to get into the renovation of this apartment, as it was in poor condition. Find out how this shabby life annuity was completely redesigned in only three and a half months by the wall team have ears.
Buyed as a life annuity, this 39 m² was frankly nothing to seduce. Old, cracked from everywhere, ceiling bottom, without a straight wall and with a soil in sad condition … In short, everything was trapped. Back on a technical and full -bodied renovation that has not scared the wall team have ears, quite the contrary.
On the 4ᵉ floor of a 1900 building in the IXᵉ arrondissement of Paris, the apartment wore the stigma of its history: born from the merger of two adjoining buildings, it found itself cut in half by an imposing carrier wall. On the left, the living room, on the right, the technical pieces. Its new owner, a Frenchman living in Belgium, wanted to make it both his Parisian foot-to-terre and a short-term rental when he would not stay there.
Resumed from floor to ceiling, from the distribution of parts to decoration, without forgetting the networks (heating, plumbing, electricity …), this 39 m² has metamorphosed. On the living room side, a millimeter development with integrated office. In the extension, a functional entrance, a compact bathroom with WC, an open and friendly kitchen, then a cozy room hidden behind a glass roof. Piloted by Valérie Laporte Volatier, decorator and founder of the agency Les Murs have ears, with the support of the architect DPLG Charlotte Soissons Lenormand and the decorator Brice Bourdon, this total renovation changes everything. Result: a little gem where every centimeter counts. Displete, the living room of the apartment did not make you want to spend time there. Damaged walls, soil in poor condition, and an old too bulky fireplace which nibbled the living space … Everything called for a deep renovation and that was the case!
Totally bare during the site, the space was able to be awarded – and the challenge was size! Flooded with light thanks to its high position position, the living room has reinvented. Along the wall, a large tailor-made MDF furniture incorporates an ultra practical retractable office, all dressed in an elegant gray (Manor House Gray from Farrow & Ball). Opposite, a convertible sofa can accommodate two additional beds.
This renovation, carried out with expertise and passion, allowed this Parisian surface to reveal its full potential. From clever development to careful decoration, every detail has been designed to offer its owner a functional and warm place, while respecting the soul of the apartment. In barely three and a half months, the walls have ears bringing this dilapidated life back to life, proving that with a clear vision and expert hands, a space can be completely transformed. A project up to the challenge he represented.
