INNER SANCTUM

Designed around an impressive art collection - and with its own spa - this home is stylish and serene

- Karine Monié

Stepping through the front door of this neoclassical-style Parisian townhouse, you would never guess that in its basement is a fully functioning, professional-standard spa zone. Located in a peaceful – and covetable – area in the west of the French capital, the house, which dates back to the 18th century, is a masterpiece.

At the heart of the renovation – led by Le Berre Vevaud, an interior design studio founded in 2008 by friends Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud – was the homeowners’ desire to live in a contemporary interior that would be the perfect showcase for their artwork.
