"It's filled with light, with large windows," Nathalie Gilbert, head of the Nuée Architecture agency, says, describing the project. "Its very high ceilings make the unit feel like it floats above the trees," she continues. "Because of the building's elaborate facade, we restored the windows in line with the original appearance. It's an element that appears in the interior as well, with the Art Nouveau-inspired glass door that separates the kitchen from the bedroom. The effect is to create a continuity and play with the building's history."
"I wanted to keep the sequence of all the tall windows in order to give the impression of living in a larger home," she explains. In the spacious living area, a bow window that previously seemed a little lost was paired with a raised platform to create a dining area. It's like a small stage for meals and draws attention to this charming but tricky window, which is the largest in the apartment.
