As an alternative of a correct doorway to the bed room, there was a big opening within the wall dividing it from the residing space. Whereas this was maybe chosen to create a vibrant open area, it actually restricted furnishing choices in the lounge. It had gentle however no heat, and the dearth of construction made it onerous to think about as a welcoming gathering spot.
BEFORE: Lounge with giant window (left). Figuring out the size to increase front room wall (proper).
By extending a wall, we gave the room form and created a greater stream – all whereas nonetheless letting the pure gentle pour in. This additionally allowed area for one thing uncommon in Paris: a second powder room conveniently tucked away off the lounge. Now the area feels full, with room for comfy seating and an inviting ambiance.

Whereas the bed room was additionally full of sunshine, it lacked privateness. And not using a door, it felt extra like an extension of the lounge than a restful area of its personal. There was additionally inbuilt storage that meant the mattress must be positioned flush towards one wall. However our plans to rearrange the loos meant we wanted to re-do the storage to shift the mattress away from the wall so we may transfer the door to the en suite lavatory.
BEFORE: On the left is the bed room earlier than work began. On the fitting you may see the brand new lavatory door and storage being constructed.
With the addition of a sliding door to shut off the room, we created a real non-public sanctuary. Customized cabinetry across the mattress, with mirrored panels, created fantastic brightness within the room whereas including ample storage.

The most important a part of the rework at Cassis was devoted to reworking the en suite right into a vibrant, spacious lavatory plus an extra powder room accessed from the lounge. The unique lavatory on this condo was so long as the bed room and had giant empty areas for the washer/dryer. By transferring the washer to a brand new location in a storage space close to the kitchen, we realized we may design a phenomenal en suite that was nonetheless lots spacious and still have room for the powder room.
AFTER: New entrance to the en suite lavatory on the left.
Step one was transferring the doorway to the en suite from the fitting aspect of the bed room to the left aspect. Because the mattress was now positioned away from the wall, it was potential to make that change, which you’ll see above.

Excessive-quality home equipment, together with a full fridge-freezer, make it each fashionable and environment friendly.
AFTER: A heat, welcoming and provoking kitchen!
