Bringing together two distinct spaces to form a single, fluid and coherent one. This renovation project in Watermael-Boitsfort was born from this simple and precise intention: to transform two small apartments into a unique living space, capable of accommodating a generous kitchen, integrated storage spaces and rooms designed for everyday life. Home Design's work was part of a careful reading of existing volumes, without looking for effect, but by emphasizing continuity, clarity and the accuracy of the choices. Each intervention is based on a measured transformation, where use guides the interior architecture.
When two apartments become one place to live
Originally, the project involved a small apartment and a separate studio. The main intervention consisted in bringing them together, through controlled drilling, in order to create a direct relationship between the spaces. The former living room of one of the apartments has been completely repurposed to accommodate the kitchen, while the second maintains its function as a dining and living room. A sliding door marks the transition between these volumes, allowing spaces to be opened or closed according to uses, without breaking visual continuity.
The custom kitchen, as a new central space
Located in the former living room, the kitchen becomes the heart of the project. It is a tailor-made kitchen, designed to take full advantage of the available volume. The facades are made of oak brushed with a white stain, revealing the texture of the wood and its veins. The composition includes a large island, combined with several levels of storage. The worktop is made of ceramic with marble effect. Open niches punctuate the whole, offering spaces dedicated to everyday objects and making cooking more pleasant to live in.
A living room structured by custom furniture
In the living room area, Home Design created a large set of custom furniture. It includes a sliding door to hide the television when it is not in use. The furniture contributes to the structuring of the space without cluttering it up, by offering a discreet and integrated solution, in direct connection with the interior architecture of the place.
A bathroom designed on the scale of a small space
The bathroom is small in size, which led to a completely bespoke design. It includes an Italian shower and furniture made specifically for the space. The coatings are in ceramic stoneware imitating natural stone, providing a simple and continuous reading. The whole is treated in white, including the arched elements, in order to preserve the luminosity and legibility of the volumes.
Conclusion
This renovation project in Watermael-Boitsfort illustrates the ability of Home Design to intervene with precision on modest surfaces, by rethinking uses and circulations without overloading space. Transformation is based on clear choices: bringing together, structuring, integrating. A measured approach to interior architecture, where each decision is part of the continuity of the place and the life that takes place there.
