Loft conversion
Versailles -
2020
Formerly a medical practice located on Place du Marché Notre‑Dame in Versailles, this apartment underwent a change of use within the protected sector. The original space consisted of a succession of small rooms of about ten square meters, without hierarchy, separated by thick partitions that fragmented any relationship with the outside. The project transformed this constrained layout into a bright 60 m² loft, largely open to the city and the sky.
The architecture recedes in favor of the place. White walls, light parquet flooring, and linen curtains filter the light and soften the boundaries between interior and exterior, allowing the city and the sky to enter the space. The kitchen backsplash, in a deep green, extends the landscape into the apartment and echoes the foliage of the large trees along Avenue de Saint‑Cloud, visible beyond the square.
The space is divided without being closed off. The study is acoustically separated by a curved glass partition — light and almost immaterial — which preserves the daylight from the large windows. The bedroom disappears behind a bookcase partition, while the bathroom is concealed behind an invisible door. Compact, it is conceived as a small sanctuary: matte green tiles, precise lighting, and storage integrated behind the mirrors.
Antoine successfully transformed our apartment, originally a very compartmentalized office, into a magnificent 60 m² loft that is both bright and functional. In just one visit, he immediately recognized the qualities to highlight, and we were instantly won over by his ideas — original yet always mindful of practicality." — Diane
