The project consists in joining two apartments located on the 8th and 8th floor of a 1950 building apartments. The 2 apartments partially overlapped and the existing layout is very irregular with a different metal structure on every floor.
The irregularities were erased by integrating storage and wardrobe to clear the space. The metal structure is sometimes visible to be lighter than heavy plaster wrapping.
The 8th floor is the common life floor. The 9th floor is more private.
The project proposes many sequences: the entrance, the intimacy of the living room with a bioethanol chimney built into a floating furniture (detached from the ground), toilet shelves and storage disappear behind a wooden façade. While entering more deeply into the apartment the visitor has to look up and can sea the access to the terrace and alternatively opaque elements dissimulating the upstairs life and transparent bridges allowing a dialogue between the 2 floors.

The staircase invites to an architectural promenade. The inhabitant can see the central void of the apartment while seeing the sky; he disappears behind the solid elements and reappears behind the transparent ones.
On the 9th Floor, the floor plan is divided into two parts: the parent’s wing and the children/friends wing. The parental suite has a bedroom and a see throw bathroom with view to the terrace and view to the Eiffel tower. On the other side, two rooms one bow in balance in the central void and the other at the end of the apartment share a bathroom which has a big window like every room of the duplex.
