It all started with a brute surface of 45 square meters that had an uninhabited abuhardillado space, totally unhealthy and open to the four winds, whose structure and frame had seen better days. When Nicolas Bossard was taught, from the Bossard Architecture agency, the owner had already projected it: he imagined a small duplex, like an perched cabin. The staircase is worked as a sculptural element with its birch beams; An arc that carries the kitchen from the room takes advantage of the thickness of the wall, exaggerating the shape of the room, while on the right a small bedroom houses a study area or Home Office.
The dispatch raised by steps
This property includes a small 32 square meter department that had never been used. The new owners, a young retiree couple, saw the opportunity to make their dream of creating a Bed and Breakfast. «We had to give a soul to an area that totally lacked it,» Raphaëlle Robert and Guillaume Fantin smile, the duo of LE Cann's interior designers and architects. In this soft, almost silent universe, architects provide very eclectic touches of furniture and decoration. Between the classic Vintage And the contemporary, a lamp by Ingo Maurer, a suspension of Achille Castiglioni and furniture pieces of the Le Cann furniture collection inspired by Marc Du Plantier serve as a space to work.
A dining desk-desk
This Parisian department of two bedrooms and 46 square meters of surface was dark and little cozy, with a entrance and kitchen that did not receive natural light. Transformed by the Terre Greek agency, it is now the perfect home and office for a single person who likes to receive guests. «With small spaces, the trick is to create a lot of storage space To clear everything that hinders, «says the interior designer. That is what he does here too, especially since the owner needs to work from home. Create cabinets and shelves in which books and archives, a printer, can disappear, etc. Everything you need to work is transformed into a table to eat or dinner when the time comes.
