"These are very rare buildings," he says of the history and scale of the site, which features six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool, a rooftop terrace, and a garden.
"They wanted me to bridge the gap between the past and today: to respect the building but create a new stratification of style and time references," he says of the brief, which was to unearth some of the building's original charm.
For his latest residential project on Paris's Left Bank, a 1911 mansion comprising more than 10,000 square feet spread across six floors, the clients—a French family—were happy to hand him the reins with just one stipulation: They wanted a fish tank.
The project is Toro's largest (completed) private home to date. When he first visited in February 2022, the house had sat empty for 15 years and was in disrepair.
