Intérieur /02

Conceiving the film’s universe in the lobby of the Grand Rex: faithful 3D modelling, attractive and demountable structures, the tight deadlines of ephemeral events. A close collaboration between interior architect and production teams, for an immersive experience.

A Norton/Saint-Gobain brownfield disused since 2005, transformed into a place of exchange and creation. A double-skin façade filtering the light, metal trusses brought to the fore, a planted wall, each floor floats like the steps of a staircase.

Beneath the terrace, a swimming lane lit by a zenithal skylight: veined marble pierced with backlit portholes, a slatted timber screen, an ultramarine ceiling. The terrace remains a garden; the light travels down to the water.

Beneath the roof, the attic becomes a master suite drawn into the slope: bedroom, bathroom, dressing room. The bathroom pairs Calacatta, walnut and parquet, and the permit sheets, plans, sections, elevations, tell the story of the house’s extension.

An abandoned building becomes an artist’s studio and the family home. The roof structure stays bare above the living room, light falls from a zenithal skylight, and every bedroom gets its own bespoke furniture.

In a protected former sand quarry, a lodge inspired by biomimicry: cocoon-rooms in timber assembly inspired by the Sisyridae, a heron’s-nest observatory, a restaurant on stilts above the lake. Nature reclaims its rights until it wraps the structure.

A former bakery becomes the neighbourhood library: a low-cost place of culture, minimalist and warm. A reading nook to leaf through before borrowing, a digital space slipped into the section, every square metre optimised.

Thirty-four square metres that the original plan wasted, a useless hall, two doors that clash, a column in the middle of the living room. The hall goes, the bedroom closes behind a glazed partition and sliding doors, and the living room finally opens onto the kitchen.

A bathroom held by two materials, veined tile and dark wood: the bathtub sunk into the floor between parquet steps, the shower tray enclosed by black-framed glazing, and two basins on a wooden counter. The file holds in three drawings: a dimensioned plan, a section, and the isometric that shows the room open.
