From the architect: The renovation highlights original structural elements while integrating contemporary materials, creating a sophisticated yet inviting space. Designed as a pied-à-terre for world travelers, the interior is enriched with eclectic furniture, artwork, and objects that define its unique aesthetic.

Stone, Wood & Contrast
The exposed stone walls and wooden elements were meticulously restored, preserving their raw beauty while enhancing warmth and texture. These timeless materials contrast with sleek, modern additions, creating a harmonious balance between past and present.

A Bold & Functional Kitchen
The kitchen, a focal point of the suite, features striking copper cabinetry set against the stone walls. Stainless steel countertops add a contemporary edge, while an oversized island and seamlessly integrated appliances ensure functionality. This space is designed as both a culinary hub and an artistic statement.

Elegant & Versatile Design
The open-concept layout ensures fluidity between living areas, with flexible spaces like a convertible office-guest room. Wide oak planks and a sculptural black-metal staircase enhance the sense of grandeur. The loft’s upper level houses luxurious bedroom suites, complete with spa-like bathrooms and private terraces, making this renovation a perfect fusion of comfort, heritage, and modernity.
