The lounge is the guts of the house and among the best parts of the Sancerre’s location was how the area that’s now the lounge had such a ravishing view of the Eiffel Tower due to the nook location. Nonetheless, the area was fairly restricted once we considered it and was extra appropriate for a eating space given the proximity and passageway resulting in the kitchen.

But, we knew there was a lot extra potential for this area! Pouring over the ground plan and strolling by means of the area numerous instances, a brand new concept started to take form. By shifting the second bed room into the area the place the kitchen was situated, we might take away the boxy second bed room fully and create a spacious open plan kitchen and eating space. This meant that our dream of making a front room within the prime nook location can be attainable.
BEFORE: Behind the pillar was a gap to the kitchen space on the fitting.
We might simply think about sitting on this area on a snug couch and catching the Eiffel Tower glowing at night time whereas having fun with dialog with family and friends.
