A French alpine chalet unlike most you have seen. Fluid, organic lines. A muted palette. Concrete, metal and plastic play against ribbons of wood. Part sculpture, all luxury. The Chalet la Transhumance in St Martin de Belleville by French designer and interior architect Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance.
I have one last project to share with you by architect Alia Bengana. This one is a 150 square metre apartment in Paris with a very cool layout. The place was originally a classic apartment in a building of the 20s. The clients wanted a contemporary space without completely losing the atmosphere of the place. Attention has been focused on the central living space which distributes all the rooms of the apartment. Five doors open on this place, they have been refined and lengthened, custom designed and opening around the pivots for enabling the discovery of the spaces hidden behind, each of different colors. The doors have also been put into perspective in order to always see one in the axis or diagonally from the surrounding rooms, thus creating a space that is both calm and dynamic at the same time. I love how Alia made features out of the large amount of doors leading out of the main living space. And I must mention that my dream bathroom is after the jump.
Alia Bengana is a French architect from Algiers currently based in Paris who kindly sent us photos of a few of her unpublished projects to share with our readers. This first project is the complete refurbishment and division of a 195 square metre Parisian apartment into 2 separate apartments. This is great - I dig the mid-century/modern/vintage feel, that marble bathroom is heavenly and helloooooooo herringbone floor!
Just another quick home before we head into the weekend. The owners of this one are not afraid of colour. The colours they chose for their walls are beautiful. But oddly enough they left the easiest rooms to bathe in colour (in my humble opinion anyway) in neutrals - kitchen, bathroom and dining room. My favourite is the magenta bedroom. SWOON!

Apartment in Paris by École and photography by Xavier Lucas. Lean and mean. Are you keen?
