PARISIAN CHIC

Since the client granted Coutas free rein over the entire design, she opted for a Parisian style with a vintage 1950s touch. “There was a lot of structural work to be done because the home was previously split into four different flat units,” she recounted. “Our first mission was to revert the house to its historical roots— an authentic Parisian hôtel particulier.”

Coutas emphasised the quintessentially Parisian qualities of this abode—the Haussmannian structure, white mouldings and floor-to-ceiling wooden windows with their beautiful bronze hardware. The fifties vibe was achieved through the colour palette, which is dominated by orange, pale green and yellow, with plenty of American walnut wood.
