This apartment had not seen the light of day for roughly a decade, darkened by a succession of partitioned rooms. After reconfiguring the floor plan, the reception rooms are illuminated by a succession of south-facing windows. The view is clear over Saint-Germain-des-Près. The apartment has gained a real sleeping area, a multitude of storage spaces, and an entrance gallery worthy of the name. Exposed beams, clear lines and blue colors give it charm and a touch of modernity. Photos © Agathe Tissier.
