Parisian grandeur

Posted on Tue, 23 Sep 2025 by KiM

This extraordinary residence in Paris’ 16th arrondissement was built by Henri Deglane, the same architect that designed the Grand Palais. Not renovated since the 80s, designer Bryan O’Sullivan adapted it to 21st century living. He brought back elements that were previously removed, and enlisted many French artisans to restore plasterwork, millwork, and metalwork. Its grandeur and elegance is exquisite and the modern touches like Pierre Paulin sofas and Faye Toogood roly poly chairs create a wonderful juxtaposition to the classic architecture.

Los Angeles-based Studio Zimmermann believes design should enhance life as well as aesthetics. Called in mid-construction to complete a homeowner-led remodel, the studio transformed a five-bed, four-and-a-half-bath home atop the hills of Sherman Oaks. Framed by sweeping mountain and city views, the property now feels both refined and inviting. Building on the clients’ impeccable taste, the team introduced strategic tweaks and curated details, creating a distinctive, stylish and deeply personal home.
