A Paris Apartment Reimagined: Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Family Living
Discover the stunning transformation of a historic apartment into a refined family duplex, blending French classicism with modern design. Explore the heart of Parisian living.
In Paris’s 5th arrondissement, a 17th-century apartment has been beautifully transformed into a refined duplex for a modern family. Overlooking the newly restored Notre Dame, this historic residence merges French classicism with contemporary design, blending architectural heritage with present-day function.
Renovated by Double G Studio, the 290 sqm space was reconfigured into two levels — a primary living area and a private mezzanine studio. The thoughtful layout allows for a balance between shared family spaces and private retreats, ideal for modern living.
Original Haussmannian features like cornices and moldings were carefully restored, while noble materials such as Calcutta marble and American walnut add warmth and tactility. Design elements — from Platner chairs to sculptural lighting — create contrast and personality, highlighting the curated elegance of each room.
The kitchen and living areas balance beauty and function, flooded with natural light and defined by minimalist, high-impact furnishings. Every detail, from artisan-made furniture to collector’s artworks, contributes to a space that feels both soulful and sophisticated.
This renovation is more than a design project — it’s a revival. A cinematic home brought to life, capturing the essence of Parisian charm and future-focused family living.
