Welcome to Boulogne-Billancourt, in the Paris suburbs, it is here, more precisely on the 2nd floor of an old building, that Olivia, the owner of the place and her daughter, a school student, already lived. She had bought the first apartment of 31.6 m² as is to rent it on Airbnb and the second, with a surface area of 44.3 m², was the one she shared with her daughter, she had already has work done at the time of purchase. The two items were therefore perfect, but as they needed space, the idea of bringing them together germinated in the mother’s mind, with a problem to be respected in order to adjust to her budget: reuse as many elements as possible. possible. A great challenge in short.
When making something new out of something old makes sense
To meet her desires and needs, she turned to Valérie Laporte Volatier, interior designer and founder of the agency Les Murs ont des Oreilles, the DPLG architect Charlotte Soissons Lenormand and Brice Bourdon, architect and decorator. Together, they reviewed and corrected what needed to be corrected while adding a lot of charm here and there. Good news, the partition which separated the two apartments was non-load-bearing, which considerably facilitated the construction site. On arrival, we have a plan redesigned as best as possible, with the living room, its open kitchen and its dining room in the center, and the more intimate spaces of each, on either side. In total, there are almost 76 m² well thought out, which we invite you to visit in more detail, let’s go!
