This 344 sq ft Paris Apartment is Remarkable

On the lookout for an affordable home in Paris, architect Matthieu Torres and his partner chose out a small, dark space with a gorgeous view of Paris city. Totally gutting the abandoned apartment enabled them to add a previously missing toilet and shower, as well as add a mezzanine level by eliminating the aging ceiling.

In turn they were able to raise the home’s bedroom and place a large furniture unit to include the added bathroom, a wardrobe, and storage. The French ply used in the unit extends throughout the apartment, uniting the home through its plywood features while the exposed ceiling gives the apartment a roomy and breezy feeling.
