Located in Boulogne-Billancourt, this house on three levels had a beautiful surface area of 270 m². The owners, a couple with three children, had just purchased this accommodation and wanted to give it more warmth, because it was terribly lacking. They also wanted to adapt it to the needs of a family of five. “What made this house particularly attractive was the presence of a patio located between the kitchen and living room”tells us Lucie Decoster, in charge of the project. However, this configuration proved impractical on a daily basis. The couple wanted to have a place to eat as a family without having to cross the entire ground floor. As the house was big, he didn’t necessarily have the budget to redo everything. The architect and interior designer from d’Ussel & Decoster then offered them transformations adapted to their budget as well as other modifications that they had not thought of and which made all the difference.
Stunning transformations to enhance the interior
Several projects were carried out on the ground floor. The kitchen and dining room shared 40 m², but the space was poorly distributed. The kitchen was in a corner. “We had to go around to get to the bottom and, behind, there was a large empty space that was not really developed”explains Lucie Decoster. The kitchen is now completely open with a central island on which it is possible to sit. Opposite, she has created a real dining space for the whole family. The corridor, which ran along the patio, was also dressed and decorated. The entrance and living room have also been designed to be more welcoming and practical on a daily basis. Very beautiful work was also done by the carpenter on the glass doors which separate the spaces and on the stairs. Upstairs, the master bedroom and the two bathrooms have also been renovated to suit the family’s tastes. The owners initially didn’t want to change the kitchen or the stairs, but they were convinced by the architect that it was necessary and they don’t regret it. Neither. “It was a joyful project” Lucie Decoster even told us.
