The apartment is located in Paris in the Marais, a neighborhood located in the third arrondissement. The master planning was done in accordance to the classical codes of a residence, on the first floor are all the spaces for reception and entertainment, and on the second floor are the bedrooms. 

The frame of the design was created with beautiful mouldings, an elegant chimney in proportion with the height of the ceiling and the wooden flooring. A grand entry was built with terrazzo and a brass railing, modern art is throughout the apartment. Furniture that is mid-century and contemporary decorate the apartment for a space that is modern but in harmony with the classical codes of architecture. 

The source of inspiration was the function of the space, to design a timeless elegant family home, convivial, apt for entertainment and family life. Functional open spaces were thus created. The apartment was designed where art and design are a part of the lifestyle. Noble materials were used, marble, terrazzo, wood and brass. The materials were selected for their character and harmony. Marble for its richness, color and presence it brings to a space. Wood for its warmth and richness. Terrazzo, as an accent and modern compliment. Brass, we enjoy working with, it highlights the other materials. 

“We are particularly inspired by the modernist, art deco and the Memphis movements, paired with classicism, you can find these periods through the choices of the furniture, colors and finishes in our work and this apartment. All of this combines to form unique spaces that are statements in themselves, strong and refined.” - said Emil Humbert & Christophe Poyet.
