“The client’s brief was primarily to transplant their pre-existing family home into their contemporary new home in an authentic and integrated way. Stylistically, the clients wanted to the interior to be designed around their key pieces of furniture and collectibles, cultivated over many years. The design skilfully re-frames these sentimental items with care and attention.”

Tonal variations, layers of texture, wabi-sabi and soft filtered light. The result is an urban oasis. Terra House by Melbourne-based interior designer Brahman Perera.

The perfect blend of primitive and modern with a warm minimalism and a touch of wabi-sabi. It’s about clean lines, variations on a neutral colour palette and subtle changes in texture. Earthy but chic. T Studio by Taipei-based Ecru Studio.

Olivier and Carole didn’t hesitate when they came across this millstone house from the beginning of the century, a stone’s throw from Parc Montsouris. It was just perfect for a large blended family.

This allowed it to be slightly restructured to make it a place that is totally adapted to the new inhabitants.
Each floor is beautifully organised. The ground floor is the meeting place for the whole family: a beautiful entrance hall with its 1900 cement tiles and an invigorating red colour, a large living room with two deep velvet sofas and a reading corner near the library and the fireplace; a huge kitchen with a farm table and large shelves for displaying the dishes, not forgetting the scullery which overlooks the inner courtyard.
