This attic apartment located in Bordeaux’s city centre was meticulously redeveloped to suit the refined tastes of the family who inhabits it.

Our intervention – technical upgrading, bespoke fixtures and fittings, and arrangement of furniture and artworks – combined different senses of scale and types of expertise.

Construction

The restricted access to the site proved the most difficult aspect of this project, requiring the use of cranes to move the larger elements. The low ceiling height under the eaves also made it hard to install the climate control systems, but in the end, we were able to conceal them fully. The existing apartment was entirely resurfaced, bringing it to the state of a pristine empty shell. 

Plan

The patio provides an ample amount of lighting to the apartment, and it also constitutes a separation between the double living room and office on one side and the bedrooms of the parents and their daughter on the other.

Oak, enamelled lava, and brass clad this flat with a monochrome honeyed tint.

Interior layout

Edge-to-edge hardwood flooring provides continuity between the apartment’s various rooms. Atelier Cambium custom-designed all the fixtures and fittings (closets, bathroom and kitchen, joinery, etc.).
