The existing appartment had a special layout due to the staircase volume located right in the center of the plan, dividing the apartment in two main areas.

The projet of anthropie studio aimed to restore the concept of crossed apartment, typical of the residential hausmaniann architecture.

3 main parameters lead the architect to design the projet : the core (the volume of the staircase), the unique facade and orientation, and the very rectangular geometry of the plan.

The concept was then pretty simple : maintaining along the facade two axes of visual and physical transparencies to emphasize and reinforce the length of the plan, to let the natural light entering and being perceived from every angle. Mainly, it was the idea to give an architectural value to the corridor which contemporary architecture considers as non useful space.

The circulation scheme follows these axes and turns around the staircase volume to connect the two areas : the « day » rooms and the « private » rooms.

The white and natural tones of the surfaces, by reflecting and diffusing light, contribute to emphasize the scale of the volumes and give an impression of generous space.
A large oak glasswall separates the kitchen and the library-bedroom which can be used as a reading room or a second bedroom. The light and the air stream can cross over the entire volume.

The second axe, a dark olive green corridor, by contrast, materializes the transition between the outside and the inside, between common spaces and intimate rooms. All along, a full-height bespoke wardrobes articulates and rythms the circulation. In the middle, hides an invisible door that leads to the master bedroom.
