It's hard to think of any Parisian home being riddled with problems (it is, after all, Paris — what could be so bad?). But when architect Camille Hermand was asked to renovate an apartment in the fashionable Marais district, she found several challenges. While the apartment had a rich architectural history, having been built on the former wetlands north of the Seine, it had issues — namely uneven ceilings and a long, thin layout that made for an awkward and impersonal living space.
Hermand, determined to respect the apartment's original details, managed to optimize the layout and add modern touches (bold colors, room dividers) while still paying homage to traditional Parisian design.
