Eva and her husband, Pepito, respectively stylist and art director of a publishing house, were beginning to feel a bit cramped in their 61 m2. While they were sleeping in the living room, their two children, Ninon, 11 and Roman, 8, shared the same room. In short, the life of four in this 61 m2 became more and more complicated. Particularly attached to his neighborhood, the family did not want to move. It was their meeting with Claire Escalon and Nicolas Lanno, the architects of the Atelier Premier Étage, who convinced them to change everything without moving. A real redistribution of the surface is organized, with the sole objective of finding space. The result of these two months of work?
The very first stage of the project, which consisted of moving the kitchen, was not the simplest. "I feared that installing it in length, like a partition between the rooms and the living room does not shrink space, but it's just the opposite," remembers Eva. Custom made in laminate by Polyrey, the worktop (foam color) runs along the entire length of the living room. And a serigraph of Marie Delafon sits next to a beautiful bouquet. On the right, the lamp was designed and realized by Eva, from a heather foot and two lampshades, for a very graphic rendering.
The chairs in scoubidou, arranged around a vintage table edited by Apartment D, were chiné in Lille. The Italian coffee maker goes alongside the old tableware, bought from Folle du Logis. At the back, a simple wooden plank, similar to the shelves, serves as an office on which is laid a wooden lamp of Taf Architects, at Muuto. Below, an IKEA drawer unit serves as storage. In the dining / living area, the walls are covered in three different shades of blue also available from Dalsouple rubber - celadon, duck blue and emerald green.
