Finding enough space for a modern family in the setting of a small urban apartment is hard at the best of times. Sure, you can try and move things around and utilize vertical space to make the most of what is on offer. But you will still fall woefully short at times; especially in case of tiny apartments that come with very limited square footage. A smart idea here I to combine two apartments next to one another (if possible) for a more spacious interior that meets the needs of a growing family. This is just what you get with the OBF Residence designed by NAME architecture in Paris.

Wooden beams add a touch of rustic Parisian charm to the apartment in white








The chic apartment utilizes a neutral color scheme coupled with textural contrast to create an inviting and one-of-a-kind living environment. The color palette here is neutral with white dominating every room of the home. Combined with white is wood in beautiful, light tones along with concrete and marble sections that offer a sense of uniqueness. The new living area, kitchen and dining spaces are open, light-filled and allow the family to come together with ease. Multiple white shelves and cabinets in the living area, kitchen and bedroom improve storage capacity in here while polished contemporary décor puts final touches on this Paris apartment.

With no corridors, every square meter of available space is in use, rather than being lost to circulation. The two doored bathroom can be accessed from both the children’s and guest bedrooms, creating a loop and providing an enhanced feeling of spatial circulation. The apartment creates the ultimate in family friendly living…

Harimon House

Harimon house is a single family semi-detached house organized around a central patio and along the main staircase axis. The design process examined several semi-detached house typologies against the site characteristics and the needs of the end-users to determine the best house plan. The long and narrow plot informed the location of the stairs against the shared wall and on the opposite side of the house the patio recess was introduced to allow light and air to filter into the basement and define the spatial layout on the other levels. A tree was planted at basement level in the patio so that its foliage would manifest mainly at the ground floor, and act as a visual anchor in the kitchen, dining area and living room that were organized around the glazed patio. The staircase axis defines a view line at ground level, looking to the backyard that includes a lap pool, and at the first floor it defines the main circulation corridor along which the bedrooms are located. Throughout the house, light colours and natural materials create bright spaces that frame colourful and texture rich views of the surrounding area.
