Tour Maubourg 2 by Camille Hermand Architectures

Situated in the heart of Paris, in the district of ‘Invalides’, this traditional Haussmannian family home was remodelled and designed by Camille Hermand Architectures to accommodate a young family. On the 4th floor of a typical Parisian apartment block, it boasts a large double siting room looking onto the street, a spacious bespoke kitchen looking over a leafy courtyard, and three bedrooms and an office discreetly situated to the rear of the property.

Mixing traditional Haussmannian influences like its parquet flooring and original decorative floor and ceiling moldings with muted tones and vibrant colour blocks, Hermand creates an elegant and bohemian family home, with contemporary twists. Unexpected patterns and colours, like the Pierre Frey and Bien Fait wallpapers in the bedrooms, give the home an up-beat and cheerful edge. In the bathroom, the traditional cement tiling is modernised with a delicate yet graphic motif.
