This sublime setting in the heart of Paris is Nicolas's fascinating project. Eager to make a first real estate purchase, he chose a high-end rental investment. Concerned about perfect execution and quality that met his expectations, he called on Maison Kyka to shape his ambitious project. Welcome to his house.
A location in the heart of Paris, in one of the most emblematic districts of the capital. It was in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that we directed Nicolas to make his real estate purchase. Where art galleries rub shoulders with antique dealers and period bookstores, goods are rare, surfaces often atypical, thus offering a superb hunting ground for an exceptional project.
It is in Saint-Père Street that we found this 16m² apartment to renovate and optimize.
Each element has been designed to create a perfect balance between refined comfort and aesthetics. A tailor-made design and careful optimization have thus allowed the creation of very distinct spaces: an equipped kitchen, a dining area, a lounge area, a sleeping area and a bathroom with separate toilet.
The impressive ceiling height was exploited to the maximum to create a sleeping area on the mezzanine, thus freeing up the lower part to create the bathroom. Numerous storage spaces have been created to measure, allowing Nicolas to enjoy an orderly and functional space.
This project is in perfect harmony with the soul of the neighborhood. Noble materials and handcrafted finishes are at the heart of the design.
The large period wooden “wolf's mouth” windows, made by the art craftsman Maison Jeannau, bring undeniable elegance while flooding the apartment with light. On the walls, silk fiber wallpaper, discreet and refined, underlines the charm of the moldings.
The dark oak Hungarian point parquet visually enlarge the space, while maintaining that timeless Parisian charm. Custom woodwork adds a touch of uniqueness and depth, reinforced by a palette of dark and masculine shades that are both sober and warm.
Designed in partnership with Samji, the kitchen worktop was tailor-made with an artistic and daring cut. A creation directly inspired by art galleries and antique shops in the neighborhood, giving this space a unique character.
Few districts in Paris combine prestige, culture and exclusivity as well as Saint-Germain-des-Prés. The epicenter of intellectual and artistic Paris, it has seen writers, painters and philosophers pass by, from Sartre to Picasso.
Even today, its cobbled streets, ancient bookstores and confidential art galleries make it a special place, where each street corner reveals a part of the history of the capital. Between legendary cafés, renowned antique shops and luxury boutiques, Saint-Germain remains a timeless address, coveted by aesthetes and enthusiasts of Parisian life.
