Cet appartement de 45m² typiquement parisien se caractérise par une disposition en étoile où l’ensemble des volumes se parent de lumière naturelle. Entre essences de bois et marbre, les matériaux nobles y sont à l’honneur afin de créer un intérieur esthétique et fonctionnel. De nombreux agencements sur mesure viennent organiser les espaces : Dans la pièce de vie, la musique prend une place centrale où platines et collection de vinyles créent le lien entre le salon et la salle à manger. La chambre s’est quant à elle vu reconfigurée avec un accès direct à la salle d’eau devenue attenante, sans oublier le grand linéaire dressing en faisant un espace optimisé et épuré. Une rénovation complète intemporelle et sophistiquée pour ce grand deux pièces !

Multiple grey tones combine for this bathroom project in Hove, with traditional shaker-fitted furniture. The Brief Like many other bathroom renovations we tackle, this client sought to replace a traditional shower over bath with a walk-in shower space. In terms of style, the space required a modernisation with a neutral design that wouldn’t age quickly. The space needed to remain relatively spacious, yet with enough storage for all bathroom essentials. Other amenities like underfloor heating and a full-height towel rail were also favoured within the design. Design Elements Placing the shower in the corner of the room really dictated the remainder of the layout, with the fitted furniture then placed wall-to-wall beneath the window in the room. The chosen furniture is a fitted option from British supplier R2. It is from their shaker style Stow range and has been selected in a complimenting Midnight Grey colourway. The furniture is composed of a concealed cistern unit, semi-recessed basin space and then a two-drawer cupboard for storage. Atop, a White Marble work surface nicely finishes off this area of the room. An R2 Altitude mirrored cabinet is used near the door area to add a little extra storage and important mirrored space. Special Inclusions The showering area required an inventive solution, resulting in small a platform being incorporated into the design. Within this area, a towel rail features, alongside a Crosswater shower screen and brassware from Arco. The shower area shows the great tile combination that has been chosen for this space. A Natural Grey finish teams well with the Fusion Black accent tile used for the shower platform area. Project Feedback “My wife and I cannot speak highly enough of our recent kitchen and bathroom installations. Alexanders were terrific all the way from initial estimate stage through to handover. All of their fitters and staff were polite, professional, and very skilled tradespeople. We were very pleased that we asked them to carry out our work.“ The End Result The result is a simple bath-to-shower room conversion that creates the spacious feel and modern design this client required.

This master bathroom was a nightmare prior to construction. It is a long, narrow space with an exterior wall on a diagonal. I was able to add a water closet by taking some of the bedroom walk-in closet and also added an open shower complete with body sprays and a linear floor drain. The cabinetry has an electric outlet and pull outs for storage. I changed the large windows to higher awning windows to work with the style of the house.

Ce petit studio en plein coeur de Paris n’attendait qu’une rénovation pour révéler tout son charme et pouvoir accueillir les voyageurs de passage dans la capitale. D’un format de poche (15 m2 !), il devait avoir tout d’un grand : une cuisine, une salle d’eau, des wc, des rangements, un coin repas, ainsi qu’un espace où dormir, tout en respectant un budget extrêmement serré. Nous avons tout d’abord revu le plan de façon à rationaliser les volumes, faciliter la vie dans le lieu et agrandir l’ensemble visuellement. Puis nous avons pris le parti d’une ambiance intemporelle et graphique. Le noir et le blanc jouent les contrastes sur les murs, les huisseries et les carrelages, tandis que des agencements en bois viennent réchauffer l’ensemble. Ici zoom sur la petite salle de douche et sa porte atelier qui fait échos aux bow-windows. Voilà un appartement de poche pratique, ultra lumineux et plein de charme. Il semble avoir doublé de volume et offre à ses occupants une vue imprenable sur la vie parisienne ! Un projet joyeusement mené en collaboration avec Axelle de Maison Auvray (www.maison-auvray.com).
