Studio Ashby, known for its refined and eclectic interiors, reimagined the St Germain Grand Apartment on Paris’s Left Bank. In collaboration with architect Antoinette Zalewski two separate apartments were transformed into one elegant duplex overlooking the Seine and Louvre. The renovation included new parquet flooring, bespoke panelling, a staircase and custom rugs. Blending antique and modern elements, the design drew inspiration from Parisian tones featuring a calm, neutral palette and artisanal craftsmanship to create a timeless, sophisticated home.

Residence Tuileries, designed by Necchi Architecture, is a 100 m² two-story townhouse located in the 1st arrondissement steps away from Tuileries Gardens and the Louvre. It is as elegantly Parisian as you could want, with elements of the 80s and 90s added in. Now this is where I would want to stay on my first visit to Paris….and I can! It is available through Pied À Terre website – a place to find architect-designed, unique apartments & townhouses unlike what you can find at a hotel or Airbnb. Photos: Ludovic Balay.
