To be able to receive friends – and have a kitchen, a dining room and a large sofa – a «box» was created in the middle of the department, which also separated the entrance of the rest of the space. This box contains the bathroom, the kitchen organized as a bedroom – in egg shape, in the purest Haussmann style – and cabinets on the bedroom side. Above, a cover host a 160 centimeter bed for the two children.

The doors are adorned with a contrasted black and white central panel, whose recessed design remembers the interior contraventans of the ancient departments. The two symmetrical halls from the living room to the kitchen have ornamental frames of rose -dyed oak sheet. They remember the Palacios in southern Italy and are crowned by the same circle, a thread of the small department design. Other similar plated panels score and ennoble the space, in the kitchen, the bedroom and the dressing room. But that is not your only function. Its dark colors are the perfect backdrop for the works of art chosen by the conservative Anne Sirot.
