The apartment is located in a 30/40s building type, Art Deco and composed by the living room, a library, a kitchen, one master bedroom with its bathroom.“While preserving the historical heritage anchoring the apartment in a very Parisian style, we integrated a contemporary vision of spaces and a treatment of contrasts in materials, light, and more generally colors” says Rodolphe Parente.

The studio the original circulations for the reception rooms, a very functional star plan. When apartments are not too modified, there is an intelligence of flow that must be preserved  and maintained in contemporary use.  The owner of the place is a friend of Rodolphe Parente and belongs to the same generation as him, so affinities naturally developed as they found themselves aligned in their aesthetic influences and daily inspirations.

Rodolphe Parente like to create boxes and structure color, not just surface treatment.“Color perceived as volume”. For example, work was done on the existing parquet to enhance its hue, and the choice of wall colors also came to structure the rooms. It delineates junctions, supports architectural transitions.
