Habitat : Résidence lumière

February 2023

20 Arrondissement de Paris

Studio Apartment

I designed a small habitat module in the centre of Paris, offering a tranquil retreat within the dense urban fabric. This compact living space balances privacy and openness, providing a serene refuge amidst the vibrancy of the city.

Nestled within the urban landscape, the module integrates green space, fostering a direct connection with nature while maximising spatial efficiency. A minimalist yet functional interior ensures comfort, with carefully curated openings that frame views of the city while filtering in natural light. The use of sustainable materials and passive environmental strategies enhances thermal comfort, reducing the ecological footprint.

This quiet studio redefines urban living by creating a compact yet comfortable sanctuary—an intimate space where residents can find solace and inspiration within the ever-moving rhythm of Paris.
