Down-to-studs remodel and second floor addition. The original house was a simple plain ranch house with a layout that didn’t function well for the family. We changed the house to a contemporary Mediterranean with an eclectic mix of details. Space was limited by City Planning requirements so an important aspect of the design was to optimize every bit of space, both inside and outside. The living space extends out to functional places in the back and front yards: a private shaded back yard and a sunny seating area in the front yard off the kitchen where neighbors can easily mingle with the family. A Japanese bath off the master bedroom upstairs overlooks a private roof deck which is screened from neighbors’ views by a trellis with plants growing from planter boxes and with lanterns hanging from a trellis above.

Loggia.

Main Loggia with Outdoor Dining

10m2 ! Petite surface mais gros défi pour ce balcon où chaque mètre carré devait être repensé et réinventé pour y créer une cuisine d'été, un coin repas et un espace détente. Sans oublier des solutions de rangements et deux objectifs : faire de cet extérieur une vraie pièce supplémentaire, et impacter positivement la clarté à l'intérieur de l'appartement. Les couleurs de l'ensemble, sobres et lumineuses (déclinaison de blanc cassé, de beige et d'écru) sont réveillés par des touches de vert olive (banquette et crédence). Côté matériaux, de l'enduit à la chaux, du carrelage façon bejmat, du bois et des fibres (de coco et de jute) ont été mixés pour rester dans une ambiance méditerranéenne. Enfin, des arrondis (banquette sur-mesure et éléments de mobilier) ont été intégrés pour casser l'aspect très rectiligne et favoriser l'optimisation de l'espace. Ce balcon est désormais 100% optimisé. Il ne reste plus qu'à profiter de la vue imprenable sur les toits marseillais du quartier d’Endoume.
