Drawing inspiration from Scandinavian and Japanese design, the transformation of this once dark and cluttered ground-floor studio in Paris, by Charlotte Guillochon of atelier apara, focused on highlighting the apartment’s history while creating a highly optimised modern layout featuring two distinct zones: a bright open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, and a more private wing with a bedroom, walk-in closet, and bathroom. Custom plywood joinery and built-in furniture anchor the home, including a multifunctional storage bench that doubles as a guest bed, and a modular kitchen that wraps around the window to create a desk. A vertical sliding glass partition ensures light and airflow into the bedroom while maintaining privacy, while a carefully crafted walk-in wardrobe and minimalist bathroom add comfort and efficiency.
