Juliet Rubel, Architect and Interior Designer, Juliet Rubel, Architect and Interior Designer explains, “This 657-class foot apartment on Paris’s Bulleward Richard Lenor is mine. I bought it two and a half years ago and it is in a classic stone building.” AdvertisementShe has already focused on her long desire to design an apartment in a gesture-style house. To do this in his new Digs, he restructured the bones of space to configure two rooms instead of three, creating an open kitchen that faces the living room. The culinary location also acts as once, which maximizes the amount of entertainment area relative to the overall size of the apartment. An existing arched in “It is in a contemporary style that is well contracted with molding, chimney and cornice of the apartment,” Rubel said.
Make place for a living room
Rubelle used only natural materials in its redesign of the apartment. The stone appears in the kitchen and bathroom-Brazilian quartzite and calcatta marble-two on floors and underlying elements, such as bar and bathtub. The beige paint on the walls is reflected in the mirrors of the wall that hold the light coming through the windows. “The idea was to create a sense of depth and create a room confusion that is greater than this,” the rubel says through an explanation of optical confusion. “I used mirrors to reflect molding. It is also a way to lighten the underlying elements like a storage unit in the kitchen.”
Original Herringbone parquet The floor has been overcome-although it has been sanded-and leads to the Pak place, which is seen from the dining area, looks like a small bar-restaurant. “It was the goal,” Rubel says. Despite its dense physicality, graphic, elevated bar installation adds a sense of lightness to the space. Its frame is in dark oak, like the legs of the table – designed by the architects – as well as the shelves of the bookcase, and, most especially, long benches that move under the windows of the large common room. It also provides invaluable storage in a small space. Its lowest shelf is open, not only to display objects, but also to allow three windows of the apartment to be seen from the entrance. Thus, the feeling of open space in the room is further enhanced.
Unpredictable material sinking
The benches hide both radiators and provide informal seating facilities for visitors. This allows the location to be re -configured as required and can serve as a seating for the dining table, which slides to create a adaptable piece of furniture with the bench. The top silver of the dining table is made of Brazilian quartzite – the same stone used for the island and floor. The material is ideal for both prep and food, due to its content resistance to acid. The architect also used quartzite on the walls, making the color a solid moment of harmony.
In the bathroom, Kailakatta stands out with its shades of marble beige and brown. The rubel was designed for specific slabs of the material, its pieces are often rejected due to its pattern. “This is a type of Kailakatta that is not particularly elegant, but I like that it is the opposite. The idea is to highlight the stone and reflect the rest of the interior, so I worked with mirrors that provide various ideas of marble.” For the walls, the architect chose to “cool down” with a light wax concrete, which is combined with glory, textured marble in the bathroom. The fixtures are copper colored, echoing sinks, bathtubs and floors, while slightly smoked mirror offers orange reflection. The round mirror is also opposite with the straight lines of the bathroom and echoes the door arches.
