The concept,
has been named La Suite Dolve Vita
We can translate it as the Dolce Vita suite.
The goal was to escape from the city and enter an Italian hotel suite.
Every time you return home.
We traveled a lot in Italy.
Especially in Venice.
We have been very inspired by the Venetian Palazzos and its arches.
The pink and green marbles
But also the dark wood you can find in the city.
We imagined it as a kind of mix
between a hotel suite and a gelato bar.
My name is Ophelie Doria and I'm Edouard Roulle-Maffeis.
We are the founders of Space Factory, a multidisciplinary
creative studio based in Paris.
A good designer can not only turn tied housing into something beautiful,
but add significant value for a property owner.
If you don't own a property, you might consider other appreciating assets.
For example, Bank of America recommends investing in things like wine or art.
That's why we want to tell you about masterworks.
This is a platform where you can invest in works of contemporary art
from the world's top artists like Picasso, Basquiat and Banksy.
These are multimillion dollar paintings that you're investing in for a fraction
of the cost because Masterworks breaks the paintings into shares.
So you're just investing in a portion of it
instead of shelling out millions for the full thing.
Data shows that contemporary art has grown an average of 13.8%
per year for the last 26 years in a row.
Masterworks has delivered an unbelievable 14%, 35%
and 10% to its investors, with its last three art sales.
Investing in paintings from legends like Picasso and Banksy's
only takes a few clicks.
Now, they've done so well.
there's a line of people waiting to get onto the platform,
so use the link in the description to skip the waitlist and get started today.
The apartment was built in 1949
and it has always been a residential building.
It is right next to Les Buttes Chaumont
It's quite an unexpected place in Paris,
with it's large expanse of grass, a lake, a suspension bridge.
There is even the waterfall
when we first found the apartment.
It was like a place that not been taken
care of in quite some time.
A one bedroom apartment
with a laminate floor and white walls.
We knocked down the walls and everything that was in place.
Then we rebuilt the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living rooms
near the original location, but with an optimized floor plan
In the entrance.
We created a color box
This one is pink to go with our gelato shop Italian theme.
The idea was to create distance with the main living space
by giving the entrance substance with a color
On the right when you enter there is a toilet
In France people prefer it apart from the bathroom.
Even in small spaces.
On the left we created a pocket storage in a vertical cupboard
that aids shoes and the electrical board.
Finally, there is an arch that visually frames the living space.
As soon as you enter the apartment.
We imagined a very versatile living space
where you can entertain friends, work and chill.
That's why we created a dining table
for 4 to 6 people.
We also imagined a living room with a sofa and storage
that can be used as benches.
We hid a projector screen in the ceiling,
which can be lowered via a switch.
Finally, we created a very integrated office in the main space
for when our client needs to work from home.
Even if the space is compact
The idea was to have a large kitchen.
We created a lot of storage in the kitchen
behind the cabinet doors
we hid the fridge, microwave with storage,
dishwasher and washing machine
This helps to visually declutter the space
we used the arched mirrors to reflect
the surrounding space.
The bedroom is separated
from the living by fluted glass arches.
We wanted to maximize
light circulation so that either side of the apartment
can receive light through the day.
We choose to float the bedside table to maximize the feeling of space
in this very small bedroom.
There's a mini dresser that has been optimized
with built in lights, drawers and compartments.
The entry to the bathroom
also has no door as the rest of the apartment.
The entrance is an arch at the top and the bottom.
We were inspired by the doors on boats.
It allows us to separate the two spaces and to protect the bedroom from splashes.
There is a shower on one side,
divided by a glass panel and the basin on the other.
With the curved wall, it makes it look like one large space.
We wanted a very soft color palette
with color, like ice cream flavors.
The green reminds us about pistachio gelati
and the pink about strawberry ice cream.
We decided to create
a gelato ice cream cone lamp
to go with the our theme.
We feel like the mindset is changing about what is luxurious
You don't have to have a large space to experience
a luxurious feeling like in a hotel suite.
It's all about the care you put in the renovation, the details
and the high end quality materials.
Thanks for watching.
