Why Studio Renovation in Paris Requires Exceptional Expertise
In the French capital, every square centimeter counts. Succeeding with a studio renovation in Paris is like conducting a subtle symphony: precise planning, tailor-made layouts, flawless technical integration, and premium finishes. It’s also about balancing heritage (moldings, parquet floors, load-bearing walls) with modern innovations (smart lighting, space-saving solutions, acoustic comfort, durability).
Our Full-Service, All-Trades Approach Includes:
Design & planning: site surveys, precise measurements, floor plans, 3D visuals, and material specifications.
Structural work: careful demolition, reinforcements, and space openings (where feasible).
Technical systems: compliant electrical work, optimized plumbing, ventilation, and heating.
Custom carpentry: built-in shelving, multifunctional headboards, sliding panels, and glass partitions.
High-end finishes: premium paintwork, textured plaster, natural stone, fine woods, and quality hardware.
Project management: a single point of contact, realistic scheduling, and turnkey delivery.
The “Architecture of Constraint”: Turning a Studio into a Manifesto of Space
A well-renovated Paris studio is not a “small apartment” — it’s a carefully composed space where everything feels natural and intentional. We work around four key pillars:
1) Light as a Material
In Paris, light is a luxury. We treat it like a core design element:
Openings and wall perforations (when feasible) to extend perspectives
Custom glass partitions to separate without closing off spaces
A carefully chosen palette (mineral tones, muted colors, satin finishes) to enhance reflection
Layered lighting: LED strips, sculptural wall lights, and dimmable pendant fixtures
2) Volume and Circulation
A studio floor plan is like a musical score:
Entrance: bench with storage, built-in coat hooks, and mirrors to expand the view
Living area: dual-purpose furniture, fold-away tables, and custom sliding partitions
Kitchen: linear, L- or U-shaped layouts with integrated appliances
Sleeping area: alcoves, raised platforms, storage headboards, and acoustic curtains
3) Bespoke Craftsmanship for Space Optimization
Nothing replaces made-to-measure carpentry:
Full-height, flush-fitted cabinets with discreet handles
Technical platforms with integrated storage and outlets
Shelving with illuminated niches and ventilated compartments
Built-in benches with upholstered backs and custom cushions
4) Cohesion: The Silent Luxury
Success often lies in the details you don’t see:
Perfect alignments (framework, baseboards, tile joints)
Materials in harmony (wood with stone, metal with glass)
High-end hardware (concealed hinges, soft-close runners)
Acoustic comfort (underlays, sealants, absorbent fabrics)
Easy maintenance (durable coatings, waterproof joints)

Kitchens in Paris Studios: Precision, Ergonomics, Elegance
In a studio renovation, the kitchen is the hub of activity. Our approach:
Rational layouts (compact “work triangle,” optimized heights)
Integrated appliances (built-in fridge, 45cm dishwasher, combo units, pull-out hoods)
Worktops (natural stone, quartz, high-density laminate), backsplashes in zellige, fine-joint tiling, or lacquered glass
Smart storage (deep drawers, pull-out pantries, recessed outlets)
Lighting (under-cabinet strips, spotlights, dimmers)

Studio Bathrooms: Refined Compactness
Sophistication lies in precision: extra-flat shower trays, minimalist partitions, slimline fixtures, wall-mounted vanities, and backlit mirrors. We favor tactile, durable materials: reconstituted stone, large-format porcelain, mineral plaster, and muted tones.
Storage & Carpentry: The Invisible Architecture
The difference between a “nice” studio and an exceptional Paris studio often lies in the unseen:
Custom flush cabinets with perfect joins
Aligned lintels and baseboards
Sliding panels to create day/night zones
Headboards with built-in reading lights, niches, and outlets
Floating shelves and illuminated bookcases

Materials & Palette: Designing a Timeless Atmosphere
Our signature: authentic materials that age beautifully — light oak, deep walnut, travertine, veined marble, satin-finish metals, clear or textured glass, linen, and wool. Paints are chosen for durability and harmony, floors are laid with precision, and tiles are selected for both style and resilience.

Modern Comfort: Acoustic, Thermal, and Smart Home Solutions
A high-end Paris studio must deliver on comfort:
Thermal: efficient radiators, underfloor heating where possible, targeted insulation
Acoustic: underlays, wall linings, heavy curtains, precise sealing
Smart home: discreet automation for lighting, heating, and security
Investment & High-End Rental Potential
Renovating a studio in Paris is also a strategic investment:
Higher occupancy rates for furnished rentals
Easier resale thanks to premium quality
Target audience: professionals, international students, young executives, medium-term stays
Budget Transparency & Reliable Timelines
From the outset, we provide a clear framework: detailed quotes, finish options, project milestones, and a realistic calendar. We never overpromise — our reputation is built on precision and consistency.
