2024 Apartment renovation in Saint-Gilles

Year:
2024

Project:
The apartment is located in a Beaux-Arts style apartment building. Originally the space was very dark and partitioned. The decision to knock down some walls and completely review the position of the techniques turned out to be risky at first but judicious in the end. Where there was a wall, there is now a multifunctional wooden block that serves on one side as a cloakroom and on the other side as a kitchen. The block allows the functions to be separated without partitioning. In addition, the light now penetrates better and the different spaces of the apartment are connected in a harmonious and fluid way.
