Sebastien Segers

The apartment is located on the ninth and last floor of a 1963 building, in the Picpus district, East of Paris. It used to be the apartment of the building architect, Piere Chaussade, who lived there over 50 years.

The project focuses on the complete renovation of the apartment and revolves around the favorite themes of Sébastien Segers.

The creation of a peaceful and serne place, Feng-shuei, with fluid spaces, gentle curves and complexity of light

The recurrence of geometric themes familiar to the architect: The ogee profile, the marine edge and the tapped angle of the fireplace

Harmony with the place by a «revival» 1950-1960

The quality of execution and the call to know-how: Secco OS2 steel joinery
French oak parquet, family business which intervenes in historical monument

All arrangements by cabinetmaker, team of duty companions
Marbrle maker from Carrara
Electrical equipment Meljac, French company labeled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant
