A PARISIAN APARTMENT OF A YOUNG ART COLLECTOR

|May 2022
With minimal lines and nuances of gray, the Haussmann-style apartment renovated by Sophie Dries highlight the owner’s eclectic art collection while serving as a contemporary living space
Project: Paris Apartment of a young collector, France
Interior Designer: Sophie Dries Architect, France
A space to showcase the art collection of its young owner, this Haussmann-style apartment located in the Temple area of Paris has been renovated by architect Sophie Dries. The 90 sq m space occupying an entire floor of a small building comprises one large and one smaller living room, a kitchen, a gallery, a master suite and a guest suite. The project, which combined two apartments, led architect Dries to completely rethink each space, in order to unify them into one coherent living space. Unnecessary doors were removed and access and circulation simplified, so that very little space is lost.
