LYON - 8TH ARRONDISSEMENT

Complete remodeling and decoration of a 70 m² apartment located in Lyon.

Originally a single-level space, the apartment was entirely reimagined to better serve the needs of its owners, who live there year-round. From the bathroom to the kitchen, windows to doors, ceilings to floors, every detail was thoughtfully redesigned to create a light-filled, coherent, and functional environment.

The most significant transformation involved converting the attic above the living room into a new upper level. After isolating the structure, installing roof windows, and creating access via a newly built staircase, the space was turned into a design studio. The opening between floors was intentionally oversized, allowing natural light from the upper level to flood the heart of the apartment and animate the main living area throughout the day.

Natural light plays a key role in the experience of the space. In the morning, it enters through the kitchen side. Around midday, it filters down from above through the large trémie and roof windows. By late afternoon, it bathes the living room, shifting the atmosphere gradually from one area to another.

The palette was kept entirely white, using full matte finishes throughout, with subtle satin details in high-use zones such as the kitchen, bathroom, and baseboards. This restrained approach allowed light, shadows, and materials to shape the perception of space rather than color.

To contrast with this quiet base, the apartment was furnished with a curated selection of vibrant vintage and contemporary pieces. The blue Maralunga sofa by Vico Magistretti serves as the centerpiece of the living room, adding both depth and softness. Vintage objects were meticulously sourced and handpicked by @objets-meubles adding personality and contrast to the refined interior.

The sculptural black chair in the living room is our own design, contact us for more informations.
