Transformed by studio bravo, this 5th-floor Parisian apartment – 7 MCH – was transformed to suit its new owners and maximise views of the surrounding cityscape.
Two hundred metres from the Opera Garnier, the revolution era building showed a lot of potential. The area is a business district by day and transforms into a cultural hub in the evening celebrating arts, music and food.
Architect Thomas Pellerin reimagined the dark and cramped space into a light-filled, airy home. Opening up the space was important, and was achieved by relocating the bedroom into the former kitchen, with the bathroom acting as the only central divide.
The bathroom features illuminated glass walls, which allows light to travel throughout the room and into the bedroom. Bold blue paint defines the bedroom from the living areas.
Black and white tiles also help to further define individual spaces without the use of walls, with the bedroom and common areas a soft herringbone wood. “In a city like Paris making small apartments like 7 MCH comfortable, livable spaces will play an important role in ensuring homeownership is accessible into the future,” Never Too Small explains on their site.
