Francis D’Haene, a Belgian-born, New York-based architect/designer associated founding father of D’Apostrophe style was charged with the task of reworking an recent building owned by the French government into a royal residence.
The project – a renovation of a historic residence on the neck of the woods – needed him to mix and structure a try of flats on the highest 2 floors of the mansion. Typical of his work, he seamlessly mixed art and style to form a palatial duplex for the couple, their son and family dog.
D’Haene has garnered a world name for his art-related comes. His discerning business includes design-savvy owners, art dealers and gallerists. This project was no exception. He worked closely with the purchasers to include their affinity for modern art from the 80s and 90s. The result's a recent Paris home full of painting items as well as associate Warhol silk screen and a try of Cindy Sherman photos. Furnishings as well as chairs by Fernando and Humberto bell, a pendant by the Bouroullec Brothers, were conjointly chosen primarily by the owners.
From the flooring to the built-ins to the bogs, the modern duplex is full of natural materials like oak and stone slabs that meet the couple’s style sensibility.
