A Lofty Vision


Photographer JEAN-FRANCOIS JAUSSAUD FOR LUXPRODUCTIONS

A former artist’s studio in the heart of Paris is transformed into a gorgeous, sun-filled family home, featuring designer furnishings and bold artwork

You can’t avoid gazing out of the picture windows the moment you enter this incredible Parisian home. It is as if something is directing your sight straight towards the Eiffel Tower and city rooftops. Then, you suddenly become aware of the vast expanses of sky that surround it.

The loft is located on two floors of a Haussmann building, just round the corner from the posh Parc Monceau – a gorgeous, tranquil garden renowned for its curvaceous layout and casually placed historic statues. Despite having a total floor area of just 820 square feet, this sun-filled eyrie is, amazingly, the home of a couple and their five children.

The unique loft’s architecture and interior design blend conventional Parisian flair with daring contemporary elements, and it is all the work of the loft’s owner and interior designer, Elke Danet.

In fact, this home was previously an artist’s studio, complete with a back staircase and attic bedrooms. One enters the remarkable space through a small portal, which cleverly hides the fact that beyond the entrance awaits a fresh, luminous apartment with soaring ceilings and designer furnishings.

這間位於巴黎的住所本為藝術家工作室,經翻新後現成為一個由日光、名師傢具和出色藝術品所包圍的舒適家庭屋

當你一踏進這間巴黎居所,視線便會離不開窗外的景色——有些東西好像在引導著你的注意力,使你不由自住的向著景觀窗的方向望去,而映入眼簾的就是漂亮而宏偉的艾菲爾鐵塔和巴黎市的繁華景象;然後,你會發現到這些迷人景致的上方,是一片無邊無際的蔚藍天空……

這個單位位於一幢Haussmann的建築物之內,鄰近別緻的Parc Monceau(蒙梭公園)——以優美彎形佈局和擺放著多個精緻的歷史雕像而聞名的漂亮花園,環境優雅。雖然單位的總面積只有820平方呎,但它可是一間滿載日光和溫暖感的住所,也是居於其中的夫婦和5名孩子的安樂窩。

居所的結構十分獨特,再加上華美的室內設計,使之既載有傳統的巴黎住所風格,也融合了大膽創新的時尚格調;而這一屋出色的裝潢就是全賴屋主兼室內設計師Elke Danet的卓越表現。

這間居所的前身是一位藝術家的工作室,屋內後方設有一道樓梯,並有數間閣樓睡房。單位的大門偏細,但這正好營造了一個有趣的對比效果,因為當你穿過「小門」而入,便來到一個明亮而寬敞的空間,高高的天花板之下擺放著各式各樣的名師傢具。
