Article source: h2o architectes The commission : a flat for a couple with two children. The place : last floor of a Haussmanian building; ancient servant’s bedrooms already transformed into a flat.  Image Courtesy © Stéphane Chalmeau

Each one of these spaces is characterized by its solar orientation: East, West or South.

They include bookshelves and diverse storage spaces.

This reading of the apartment is further enhanced by the use of white paint on wood or plaster for the principle surfaces underlined by wood (oak) along the floor and for the “totem” elements.
