18 sqm is a standard size for a Studio in Paris! This must include a living room, a sleeping area, a kitchen and a bathroom… Lets say it can be a challenge to adapt to it all, but it wouldn’t be interesting if it wasn’t. For this project, the client being retired in the countryside, I was involved in all aspects of the project, up to the choice of silverware. Remote relationships with customers proved to be effective because they were very responsive and prompt in making choices. A small budget constrained some decisions by itself, as the budget was fixed from the outset and had to be followed to the point. You can always have a nice finish, even if you are on a budget. And the best interior designs are not necessarily related to high-end materials. The idea of this rental was to get a style unrelated to fashion on the trend at the moment, so it lasts in the coming years. A special thought was given when choosing the different materials (flooring, paint finish, luminaires…) on their longevity and longevity, their ease of maintenance and their resistance to the intensive use of tenants. Result was instantaneous: in less than a day of the list, 20 applications were on the table and ad was removed before the end of the business day, as the phone rang every 5 min! Rental agency told us that this is the first time one of their ad starts that fast. I replied “normal, it was designed by Peter!”
