Article source: studio razavi architecture This small apartment (80 m²) was renovated for a very young couple, both passionate collectors, and their dog. Our concept was to invade the space by design! The existing context is that of a 150 year old Haussmanian apartment with a rigid layout (defined structurally) which we intended to disrupt so that ultimately its inner qualities are revealed. Programmatic clusters respond to specific client needs, creating a landscape inside the apartment and modify the perception of this very classical Parisian layout.

All millwork is wood fiber panels by Valchromat. We selected fiber panels because they were not only compatible with project budget but also because they allow for a great flexibility of use (field cutting, on site finishes & repairs made easy) and offer a variety of colors and can be easily repaired if scratched. The kitchen backsplash is marble patchwork of smaller pieces of leftover stone found a marble quarry in Portugal.

It is our belief that successful designs can only materialize by fully synthesizing building technology and architectural sensitivity. Our approach to space is hence determined by a rigorous understanding of existing relationships between technique and culture, free of stylistic limitations, open to context. Our designs cover a wide spectrum or architectural services from interiors to master planning services for clients in both the public and private sectors. Operating as one firm with two offices (Paris and New York) our portfolio of works spans from Europe to the Americas and includes residential, corporate, hospitality, civic, transportation, and mixed-use projects. Our reputation is built on our ability to translate a client’s physical needs, aspiration and budget constraints into memorable designs and spaces. We strive to bring innovation and construction techniques together in our processes but also branding, marketing and post-occupancy issues because we believe that a long lasting experience is a measure of excellence. We are currently taking part in the 2016 Biennale of Architecture in Venice, exhibiting at Palazzo Bembo  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © olivier-martin gambier  Image Courtesy © studio razavi architecture  Image Courtesy © studio razavi architecture
