A Rinck Signature Project: timeless elegance and Parisian Art de Vivre

Located in the heart of Paris, in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré district, this apartment, nestled within a Haussmannian building, embodies the timeless elegance of Parisian architecture.

The renovation project involved a complete reconfiguration of the interior space, seamlessly blending the updated elements of a classic apartment with the selection and bespoke creation of contemporary furnishings.

The client's primary objective was to preserve the characteristic features of classical architecture while infusing a decidedly modern touch. To achieve this delicate balance, our interior designers undertook meticulous work to rethink the distribution of spaces and circulation.

The volumes of the rooms were entirely redefined, allowing for the creation of expansive reception areas designed to host moments of conviviality and sharing. These bright spaces, where the grandeur of classical proportions meets contemporary aesthetics, invite relaxation and exchange. Meanwhile, the night spaces were envisioned as intimate and warm refuges, where every detail contributes to a soothing and comfortable atmosphere.

Through a harmonious approach, our architects skillfully blended tradition and modernity, transforming this interior into a place where the timeless charm of Haussmannian volumes coexists with innovative design elements, creating a unique living experience.

The living spaces were designed to be open and fluid. The four-meter ceiling height, characteristic of the noble floor, along with the large windows, floods the apartment with natural light, enhancing the sense of space.

In the living room, no furniture or artwork has been placed on the walls, ensuring that the panoramic view of the exterior remains uninterrupted. The eye is constantly drawn to the windows, offering a permanent visual connection with the prestigious environment surrounding the building. This minimalist choice creates an atmosphere that is both refined and elegant, where light and the external perspective take center stage. Discreet gilding enriches the XVIIIth-century-inspired décor, adding a touch of nobility to the overall design.

The dining room is enhanced by a custom Art Deco stained glass window from the 1930s, featuring stylized acanthus leaves that introduce a unique artisanal touch and a subtle burst of color. Meanwhile, another rose-shaped stained glass window, also in an Art Deco style, illuminates the kitchen, adding a decorative dimension that is as functional as it is aesthetic.

The bedrooms are designed as sanctuaries of serenity, offering a muted ambiance that invites relaxation and rest. Each space has been carefully crafted to create a soothing atmosphere, enhanced by a harmonious selection of colors and materials. A range of beige tones establishes a calming palette that envelops the entire room. The choice of fabrics plays a fundamental role in creating this cocooning environment, presented in various forms and textures that add visual and tactile richness, reinforcing the sense of comfort and promoting acoustic softness.

The furniture in the apartment, including some custom-made pieces, harmoniously integrates into this environment where light and space are central to the experience, creating an interior that is both classic and distinctly contemporary.

In this tranquil haven, every detail has been carefully considered to provide a refined and relaxing living experience, where well-being is at the heart of every moment.
