The loft-style condominiums at 62 Reade Street combine modern living with the preservation of the building’s architectural heritage (once a clock factory). New York-based ODA designed the interiors with a refined, upscale take on loft-style living, using natural materials and a light, airy palette of off-white and beige. White oak floors, exposed beams, fluted glass steel doors and high-end appliances blend modern luxury with original character, honouring the site’s rich past.

“Follow us into this 255 m² Parisian apartment located in the 7th arrondissement, near Les Invalides. This Haussmannian gem has become a vibrant family living space that highlights a unique art collection. Iconic Art Deco furniture pieces stand alongside major contemporary artworks in a fully reimagined Haussmannian architecture.”

Ah I do love Haussmannian apartments! And I do love this renovation by Julien Ensarguet, Pierre Petit and Richard Guilbault of Atelier Daaa.

The new owner of the place and his companion had clearly expressed their preferences for a style full of poetry and extravagance and a touch of nostalgia with references to the past. The tone was set for an apartment that had to be playful, warm, soft, daring, colorful, sophisticated and refined, a bit retro and nostalgic to live in withdrawn from the world as in a family home out of time, protective, far from the criteria of fashion and the trends of the present. Like a garment tailor-made for a personality with special characteristics, some choices were dictated by the owner’s Asian origins: design of the glass roof, Delft blue plates, enhancement of the collection of works of art, furniture and objects of Korean origin of exceptional quality. Wallpapers in bedrooms reactivate our childhood memories. This apartment translates the aspirations we had to invent an imaginary and poetic world by favoring fantasy, delicacy, and lightness.
I am always in awe of designer Marianne Evennou‘s work and this one is no exception. How she delineates spaces using colour, and uses colours one might never think to attempt in the same space is so impressive. The kitchen in this apartment may be tiny but it is GORGEOUS. Photos: Grégory Timsit.

In Notting Hill, Ola Jachymiak Studio has transformed a Victorian flat into a warm, New York loft-inspired, luxurious apartment. Think of a blend of 1990s brutalist industrial style with luxury. In the living room, a black Victorian marble fireplace is framed by custom bookshelves with a Togo sofa and a 1970s Xavier Feal coffee table. The dining area has a walnut table and Jean Prouvé chairs illuminated by washi paper lamps while the kitchen features stainless steel and retro elements, including custom telescopic doors. The master bedroom combines monochromatic tones with glass blocks and Japanese-inspired furniture with the bathroom featuring marble and micro-cement.

“Natalie Tredgett is passionate in the way that our homes can reflect our personalities. In this project, we harnessed the emotional power of colour with chic cabinetry to create a flexible live-work space. By celebrating the best of retro design, we’ve crafted a space that vividly represents the homeowner’s persona whilst serving her lifestyle from the inside out.”

This Notting Hill apartment by Natalie Tredgett features a distinctive use of colour, instinctively blending it with decorative art to create a modern, artistically driven design.
