OURCQ

A complete transformation of a 1980s two-bedroom apartment.

In the Ourcq project, the apartment was entirely rethought, in its volumes as much as its atmosphere, to suit my clients’ wishes and way of life.

Opening up the living room onto the kitchen, creating an extra room with a separate study, updating the windows and doors… and rethinking the whole space to give it a new soul.

The solid oak parquet, laid in a checkerboard pattern typical of the 1980s, was particularly dear to my clients. As it was too damaged and had to be fully removed during the works, I chose to recreate it identically, preserving the original spirit and character of the apartment.

And then there was color: a sky blue, bolder than what I usually use. A wonderful way for me to step outside my habits and adapt my eye to my clients’ world.

A total transformation, with just enough memory for the place to keep its soul.
