Homes in Paris are often associated with their Bohemian, savory and energetic feel. But in Ivry-sur-Seine, a suburb area of the French capital, an architect wanted to leave this pattern behind and renovated an attic apartment, after many years of neglect, lending the space a rustic air. The revitalized apartment now proudly showcases a white and gray sheen where a single, neutral hue aims to reduce delineation of space visually even as contrasting textures provide the necessary contrast.<\/p>\n
The architect went for a modest design and a smart planning, but took advantage of the generous natural light in order to open the low attic. Exposed wooden beams, brick wall sections, polished concrete and wooden floors and a hint of glossy modern glint ensure that there is no sense of monotony here. Lack of traditional partitions and a long corridor that leads one directly from the living area to the bedroom add to this sense of unhindered space, a description on Decoist.com reads.<\/p>\n
