Text description provided by the architects. Located on a side street the hip 11^th district of Paris, the job site was a boutique of an abandoned beauty salon that occupied part of the lower levels of a late 19^th century working-class apartment building. The original space consisted a 19m2 ground floor that has been connected with a 32m2 flat upstairs and a18m2 basement right below. We have further sacrificed the precious square meters for thermal and acoustical insulation. Especially for the basement, we’ve literally built a box in the box and installed mechanical ventilation to make it suitable for daily use. The demolition and insulation had left us 3 boxes on each level.
