A Paris Apartment Turns a Former Garage Into a Retro-Futurist Family Home

Atelier HA renovated a Saint-Cloud apartment that had previously served as a garage, reworking its awkward layout for a family of four. The design introduces rounded, Space Age-inspired built-ins, silver-leaf cabinetry, and a mezzanine office above the kitchen. Open living and dining areas are kept, while custom elements help define separate zones within the tall interior.

Atelier HA took on a Saint-Cloud apartment that had once been a garage and had already been converted before the studio arrived. The clients—a returning patron, his partner, and their children—gave founders Adèle Nourry and Hugo Vince freedom to rethink a tall, awkward interior. Their brief included a home office and clearer separation between the adults’ and children’s rooms.

The renovation uses a 6.5-metre height to organize zones. A rounded mezzanine above the kitchen holds a burgundy desk and bookshelf; below, open living and dining areas are visually divided by a metallic fireplace, a curved kitchen island, striped Cesi tiles, and vintage pieces such as a 1970s Confidential sofa.
