Rue du Japon Toulouse –
150 m2 + Jardin
Townhouse with garden, completely
renovated.
The challenge was to completely renovate
this old townhouse while still maintaining
its familial aspect in order to welcome a
family with 2 grown children.
On the second floor, the son’s bedroom
was designed as a hotel bedroom. One of
the facades of the house overlooks the
garden. Everything is monolithic: the large
bathroom vanity in Corian, the shower
is designed as a cube in black smoked
glass. The dressing room is in light wood
paneling welcoming a niche whose sliding
base opens up to a hidden television.
On the first floor, the girl’s bedroom is
decorated in light and warm tones. The
bathroom is in all cement coating, with the
bathtub Vieque s by Patricia Urquoila. In
the parents’ bedroom is a large oak door
with a gloss lacquer finish subtly reflecting
the other materials used: a tinted gray
oak for the flooring, walnut for the large
dressing room that extends into the
bathroom with the basin in Corian.
All these spaces lead to the ground
floor where two strongly pronounced
atmospheres confront one another. The
entrance of the house to the kitchen has
a very contemporary feel decorated in
dark tones with Solunite resin flooring and
carpentry components in (stained) birch
(particularly the small desk made from
natural birch). This meets an ambiance
that is more bourgeois with a large living
room / dining room with mouldings
and herringbone parquet flooring. To
make a transition between these two
atmospheres, a huge bay window opens
up the entire exterior of the house
overlooking the garden.
