The architect and designer Rodolphe Parente has been inspired by the Italian villas of the 30s to update this 1910 home in one of the best areas of Paris.

Parente completely reformulated the distribution of this house of 309 square meters, establishing the master bedroom as the heart of the house. The living room and two other rooms were arranged in the back, which are accessed through a round antechamber. "We needed the space to breathe, so we opted for a circular distribution to make it more dynamic and enveloping," he says. 

Parente always try to include something a little different and unusual that causes a dialogue，and his goal here was to update the interior by turning its traditional Parisian look. Soft colors, smooth lines, sophisticated decor items and bold solutions – the author managed to create a simply magnificent mix with French charm. He likes to give a certain graphic touch to the spaces, citing Carlo Scarpa, Pierre Chareau and Peter Zumthor among his influences.
