Conceived as a cloister and punctuated by large architectural arches that invite a sense of travel, this family home balances conviviality with intimacy. Interpreted as a patio, the living room becomes the heart of the project: a generous central space, open to the surrounding rooms through a sequence of arched passages leading to the dining room, the piano lounge, or an alcove hosting a banquette seating area. From this core, perspectives unfold and multiply, offering subtle framed views that encourage exploration and restore a harmonious sense of flow throughout the apartment.

The generous ceiling height allows the volumes to be sculpted and supports soothing plays of light, enhanced by the softness of rounded forms. In the living areas, white walls reveal a delicate interplay of textures and materials in gentle tonalities, while the private quarters, clad in lime plaster with chalky hues, offer a more enveloping, warm and intimate atmosphere.

The décor weaves together Emmanuelle Simon’s own creations with a curated selection of vintage pieces and artworks chosen with precision. Custom-designed furniture, crafted from natural materials – solid wood shaped by the artisan’s hand, woven plant fibers and stone – embodies a subtle balance between functionality, aesthetics and authenticity.
