Amidst the layers of light and shadow in the city, those Spaces that have endured the test of time are silently awaiting their rebirth. Camille Lequatre, with the eyes of an architect and poet, slowly awakens this Courcelles apartment, which overlooks Parc Monceau in Paris, in the interweaving of time and the senses.
The Courcelles apartment was once overly simplified, with traditional decorations stripped away completely, losing the essence of the Haussmann style. Only the wooden floor whispers about the past. Camille Lequatre sews together the clues of memory one by one, creating Spaces with colors, light and shadow, and materials. She reproduces the elegance in memory in a reconstructed way and interprets the classics of Paris with contemporary aesthetics.
The living room is the prologue of the apartment, where classic and contemporary elements interweave. The fireplace, custom-made by a potter, is like a warm object, quietly placed in the center of the space. A series of carefully selected furniture, such as rattan armchairs and cylindrical coffee tables, are paired with a painting. Various elements from different eras are placed side by side, creating an overall harmonious atmosphere.
On both sides of the dining room, walnut bookcases stand side by side with custom-made side cabinets in high-gloss green paint. The tabletop is made of concrete and teak, serving as a place for daily gatherings. Here, the cold and warm, the rough and the exquisite converge. Every color and material combination effectively stimulates the senses beyond the taste. The kitchen is the energy center of a home, and its open design responds to the contemporary lifestyle. The custom-made central island counter is based on wood, complemented by Raujolles terracotta brick floors and 1960s Swiss chandeliers. The clear rhythm continues in every detail: Parisian bistro-style high stools and 1960s Chambost terracotta cups infuse the space with the warmth of life.
The interior design language mainly focuses on light and materials, guiding family members into the private bedroom area. The corridor achieves the transformation of its atmosphere merely through the changes in the texture of the walls and the light. The wood grain on the floor gradually becomes fine, and the fabric of the curtains becomes increasingly warm and smooth. The moment before entering the bedroom, it is a kind of "lowering of the rhythm".
The master bedroom is based on Pierre Frey fabric. The ceiling and walls are coated with natural fibers, making the breathing sense of the space more intense. Handcrafted pottery lamps illuminate a corner of the space, and the furniture is arranged in a relaxed yet orderly manner. Each object seems to have its own mission for coming here, jointly forming a gentle jigsaw puzzle of time.
