Renovation of a 180m² house in Strasbourg

- Objective : Create a strong visual interior-exterior dialogue and ensure smooth circulation between day/night spaces
- Furniture: AM.PM, Vitra, Eames, Wood Upp, custom-made
The architectural approach is based on verticality and fluidity.
The main objective was to open up the space. From the entrance, the living area unfolds under a cathedral ceiling. The space naturally revolves around a central fireplace block with a matte graphite finish. This strong structural element visually separates the living room and dining area without isolating them, ensuring fluid circulation.
The integration of a zenithal glass roof and large bay windows in the dining area is not a detail — it’s a deliberate strategy to diffuse light optimally, transforming this zone into a natural extension of the garden.
A Personalized Design, Between Materials and Culture
The interior design is built on a dialogue of textures. The warm wood of the vertical slat panels WoodUpp brings a graphic structure and cozy atmosphere, essential to balance the large volumes.
The living room serves as a true personal gallery. Instead of a simple wall, the interior architect integrated a focal point with Banksy’s lithograph Zebra Stripes Washing. This strong artistic element anchors the space in an urban and contemporary aesthetic.
The furniture (AM.PM), inspired by Neo-Vintage style, was chosen for its organic lines and tapered legs. It ensures an elegant and timeless ambiance. The color palette was selected for its visual impact: the deep olive green of the walls provides a visual transition to the outdoor greenery, complemented by warm accents of ochre and terracotta.
The result: A house in Strasbourg that offers the structural clarity of modern volumes and the intimate comfort of thoughtful design. It is a unique living environment where architecture fades to highlight your art of living.
