Nestled between the rustic charm of Parisian countryside and the bustling Pelleport neighborhood, stands a quintessential 1950s house. Its distinct features include moldings that strikingly contrast against the unadorned red brickwork. Recognizing its uniqueness, the decision was made not only to preserve it but also to develop a project that complements its character.

The new development comprises two separate structures. The first, fronting the street, seamlessly blends into the urban landscape, while the second, situated towards the courtyard, is cozily tucked within its surroundings.

Our design philosophy aims to harmoniously integrate into this vibrant Parisian street, which is characterized by its diverse architectural styles, without resorting to imitation. We have chosen a subtle yet sophisticated architectural language, employing light bricks laid in a Flemish bond, accented with reliefs and mashrabiya patterns. This approach distinctly sets our design apart from neighboring buildings, yet maintains a sense of familiarity. A special emphasis has been placed on the curved stainless steel roofing, enhancing the structure’s overall aesthetic.

The inclusion of a spacious porch and an imposing gable dormer further enriches the building’s design, lending it a distinctly homely and welcoming feel.
