In a bustling corner of Paris lies a 25m² apartment transformed into a literary haven by the design duo Sarah Chayeb and Pauline Paradis. This abode is not just any living space; it's a sanctuary for Leonard, a book reviewer and podcaster, and his son. The team's vision unfolds with a crisp white backdrop that sets the stage for Leonard's extensive book collection to take the spotlight. But that's not all; a whimsical touch inspired by Alice in Wonderland adorns the son's room, offering a playful escape with views of Paris's iconic rooftops.
Nestled in the vibrant 18th arrondissement near Montmartre, this apartment exudes a unique charm, blending modern design with the historic essence of a 19th-century Haussmanian Building. The team's meticulous approach to space optimization breathes new life into this previously unutilized gem. By reimagining the layout and introducing a bespoke staircase, every nook and cranny is thoughtfully crafted to cater to Leonard and his son's needs.
The heart of this abode lies in its kitchen, seamlessly integrated into the living area to foster a sense of togetherness. Birch plywood and warm walnut hues tie the design elements together, creating a harmonious flow throughout the space. The living room, awash in natural light, boasts a custom birch plywood couch, a towering bookcase, and vibrant accents that inject personality into the room. Each corner tells a story, inviting you to immerse yourself in a world where functionality meets artistry.
As you ascend the sculptural metal staircase to the mezzanine, Leonard's bedroom unfolds, a sanctuary of calm and functionality. Storage solutions abound, ensuring every item finds its place in this compact yet efficient space. Leonard's son's room, a blue-hued retreat accessed through a whimsical tiny door, offers a haven for play and rest. Soundproof glass partitions provide privacy without compromising the apartment's open feel. In every detail, from the smallest nook to the sweeping views of Montmartre, this design marvel speaks volumes about the art of living large in a small space.
