The apartment is located on the ground floor of a 4-story building from the 1930s in Colombes (suburbs of Paris). This Souplex of 72sqm has the particularity of being crossing and surrounded by two private courtyards. The goal of this renovation is to transform the layout of the spaces to optimize the uses. 

The kitchen has been moved closer to the entrance to become a central living place, taking full advantage of the south-east light. 

The living room is planned as a large modular space in the extension of the kitchen and can accommodate a bedroom with a light partition or a wooden rotating screen. A significant amount of bespoke carpentry work has been carried out to optimize storage space.

The entrance wall was replaced by the kitchen unit, which combines several new functions: partial separation thanks to shelves and optimized storage on both side.

The staircase has been completely redesigned for two reasons: to be more comfortable and to extend the dressing room. The continuity of space on the ground floor is guaranteed by the link between the kitchen dresser and the library.

The parquet floor of the old bedroom was removed and then re-installed in the previous location of the kitchen in the continuity of the living room.

The scale of the white mosaic tiling makes the kitchen more dynamic and allows a varied reflection of light. The light-colored birch plywood used for the bespoke furniture accentuates the desire to lighten and preserve the homogeneity of the spaces. Nothing stands in the way of the sun's rays.
