Refreshing a Haussmannian apartment (and keeping original features!)

This Paris condo’s earlier proprietor had lived right here for a lot of a long time. It was primarily a time capsule (take a look at the earlier than images right here) when the brand new homeowners got here into its possession. Agence Véronique Cotrel understood the significance of making an attempt to keep up as a lot of the historical past as attainable (bless them for doing “God’s work”) and eliminated carpet to uncover unique hardwood, restored doorways, {hardware}, cornices, home windows and bathed the primary areas in shades of white. The result’s a lot more energizing, and open and ethereal and provides an air of modernity to the in any other case historic house. What a magnificence!!! Photographs: Amaury Laparra.
