A beautiful combination of new and old world.
With its exquisite herringbone oak flooring, vast windows, plasterwork, and high ceilings, the beautifully appointed details of this historical building itself lends to such character and grandeur. I truly appreciate and enjoy the care and attention that architects Karl Fournier and Olivier Marty took in the design and modernization of this home. They wanted to create a grand space space that was grounded, and never ostentatious. That is exactly how it feels... I want to curl up on that glorious, velvety–gold sofa (from B&B Italia) with a cup of coffee and relax. The only thing missing, for me at least, are some fabulous open–weave linen and/or silk curtains to grace the main windows and puddle on the ground. I could just pack my bags and move in an instant!
