A full-scale renovation of a prestigious Haussmann apartment, ideally located in the heart of Paris

A full renovation carried out with meticulous attention to the intricate details of classic Haussmann architecture

Located in the prestigious Luxembourg district of Paris, this Haussmann-style apartment had been passed down through generations for over a century — without ever being renovated.
The Wronska-Boutet Studio carried out a comprehensive interior renovation, blending advanced technical solutions with timeless Parisian elegance. The result is a transformation of this historic space into a modern, refined primary residence.

A primary residence designed for contemporary comfort

The renovation was both aesthetic and technical, with careful attention paid to preserving the apartment’s original architectural elements. The historic French herringbone parquet flooring was meticulously restored. In the hallways and bedrooms, new flooring made from authentic period wood was installed to ensure architectural coherence. Damaged mouldings and cornices were restored, and new ones were crafted in accordance with traditional Haussmannian style principles.
All electrical, plumbing, and heating systems were replaced. Underfloor heating and modern amenities were added to ensure everyday comfort.

Bespoke kitchen designed and built by the studio

Wronska-Boutet Studio designed the kitchen and all built-in cabinetry — from technical drawings to final installation — in collaboration with local artisans, including cabinetmakers, stonemasons, and fine woodworkers.
This tailor-made approach ensures aesthetic harmony, maximum functionality, and flawless execution. As the heart of the apartment, the kitchen embodies elegant design, ergonomics, and everyday practicality.

Noble materials that elevate the space

The prestigious setting is enhanced by high-quality materials: rare marbles in the kitchen and bathrooms, gilded fixtures, and luxurious woods such as walnut.
Every detail was carefully selected to bring elegance, warmth, and durability to the interior — all finished with artisan techniques and exclusive craftsmanship.

An interior inspired by 1950s–60s art and design

The design draws inspiration from the artistic spirit of the 1950s and 60s, evoking the works of Picasso and Pierre Chapo. The space features original ceramic pieces from that era — including works by Capron, Maunier, Massier, and Picault — giving the home a refined, vibrant, and timeless character.The result is a perfect balance between classical heritage and bold modern design.
