A sensitive, tailor-made approach in the service of your living space
A renovation project never starts with plans. It starts with a vision. With this duo — an interior architect and a product designer — every project becomes a holistic reflection where aesthetics, functionality and emotion are conceived together.
Their strength? A dual perspective.
The architect structures, opens up and reorganises volumes. The designer refines, details and gives character to every element.
Together, they guide their clients from A to Z: from initial concept to delivery, including full project management on site, with the possibility of creating bespoke furniture in collaboration with specialist craftspeople.
Their approach is both creative and pragmatic, driven by a strong conviction: a successful interior is, above all, an interior that looks like you.
A vision of design in the service of the art of living
Every project is conceived as an experience.
It is not about applying trends, but about understanding a way of life, habits and desires. Their sensibility — shaped by experiences in demanding worlds such as watchmaking and high-end furniture — brings a particular attention to detail, materials and finishes.
The result? Balanced, elegant and deeply coherent spaces.
Three projects, three approaches, one shared standard of excellence
Project 1: Revealing the potential of an exceptional property
This 150 m² seafront apartment in Beaulieu-sur-Mer had been left untouched for years. A place full of charm, but waiting to be reborn.
The goal: to transform it into a modern, bright space suited to high-end long-term rental. Volumes were opened up, light was maximised, and materials were carefully selected to create an elegant, soothing atmosphere.
Project highlight: the transformation of a solarium into a proper bedroom with en-suite bathroom — a space that became both intimate and unique.
More than a renovation — a new way of inhabiting a place.
Project 2: Elevating without overhauling
Located on the hills above Nice, this 113 m² apartment had a dark and dated feel.
With a more controlled budget, the challenge was to optimise what already existed — keeping elements such as the kitchen — while modernising the overall look.
The focus was on the essentials: bringing in light, rethinking storage and improving the comfort of the master suite.
Through lighter material choices and bespoke solutions, the apartment found its balance and harmony again.
A subtle renovation, where every decision matters.
Project 3: Reconnecting spaces, creating unity
This top-floor apartment of 110 m² enjoyed beautiful natural light, but suffered from a compartmentalised and incoherent layout.
The intervention focused on opening up the floor plan to improve circulation, while retaining the ability to define spaces through bespoke doors and storage units.
A hybrid room was created: a home office that can be converted into a guest bedroom as needed. Particular attention was also paid to acoustic comfort, to reduce noise from the busy boulevard below.
Result: an open, functional and peaceful space, designed to adapt to everyday life.
