Paris home-within-home: metal core adds space to modern loft
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ธ.ค. 2017
- To preserve the open, industrial feel of a 1920s industrial loft in Paris' 11th arrondissement, architect Alex Delaunay inserted a pre-fab island into the center. The golden aluminum-clad home-within-a-home adds bedrooms and a bathroom without the need for adding walls to the stripped-down, raw concrete space.
Twelve of the 40 tall aluminum panels are operable shutters or doors mounted on metal frames and rails allowing for natural light to enter the bedroom and bathroom filtered through slats in the polycarbonate panels.

A large module in a hard to construct space. :) Without major construction of inserting metal beams and without separating functions of spaces with the floor to the ceiling drywalls. It should cost a fraction of the typical “loft conversion.” It seems European cities are more tune to concept of modularizing space functions without construction to save serious conversion construction money and spend more in aesthetic (finishes and unique materials). I am not fan of this particular aesthetic (neither finishes or materials), but I am fan of the fundamental idea that the whoever did this project knows exactly what to spend money on. :) Thank you very much for sharing.
My thoughts exactly. I do, however, enjoy the effect of the slots milled into the paneling along with the textured clear panels and how that creates a kind of light/image echo when someone walks by. The gold color of the paneling and the storage system that they used in the kitchen area are definitely not to my tastes. For the island, I would have gone with a wood finish instead of the aluminum panels, perhaps bamboo paneling or something like what is depicted here (#1, #2, #4 or #5). The wood would look fantastic with that light pattern milled into it.

Alpha Machina I have worked for engineering (not construction) company so I can see the benefits of aluminum application (light weight, easier to cut and bend and its strength) , but as you mentioned it’s not everyone’s cup of tea for sure. If they use regular wooden panels instead of aluminum, I am pretty sure that 1) they will start to sag sooner because of the sheer size of the panels (weight) and weight down the module structure. Also 2) wood will kill the creator’s intension to “corporate different materials.” Since this is “industrial structure” (loft) to begin with, I can see the intension of keeping integrity (this isn’t a typical residential setting) of the construction.
Im all for tiny house so not to waste space, but this is just stupid right?
Agreed. Love the concept but the Palette is really lacking in my opinion. The space speaks for itself, but with regards to the personalities inhabiting the space, it is silent.
Im european I live an european city I dont give shit for this sort of overated tin house. I would love an american house lol
To me it looks like people were overthinking it here. Why the metal core? It breaks up the huge open space, and makes it dark and cramped.
It's obviously awful. Who wants to live in a metal box
turns a studio into a 2 bedroom
I think the idea comes from deciding what the person living here wants, they decided to sacrifice a fairly small amount of space with no privacy, no bedroom and no bathroom for much more. 3 hallways, a bathroom, a bedroom and a loft and with a lot of storage while keeping natural light throughout the apartment. I think you're taking private space for granted if you don't like this design.
Good concept!
i would have put the box thing in the far left close to the window. it makes sense to have sections, but this way it would actually look outside and ruin the rest of the apartment that seems pretty functional.
The reason why they made it this way is they don't want to touch the space that much. Meaning they want to use it as a living space now but it may change someday. I think this is brilliant honestly.
A home within a home is a good concept. Specially for people who have studio-type properties, wants to somehow live in it but doesnt want to entirely change anything.
I love the view from the bedroom looking down into the living room / kitchen area with lots of beautiful natural light. Overall, way to claustrophobic for me, lol, but I really appreciate how much of the original structure they kept intact.
I like how they left the natural surface of the concrete. I like that they balanced the cool tone rough surface with warm tone smooth surface. And the round corners balance out all the angles. Materials: Stone, metal, .... they need more wood, although the leafy cutouts might count for that. I like the hallways, my kids would have loved that; they would go running 'round and round it. I like houses that have a circular traffic pattern inside. With all those windows, I envision a herb garden and viny plants someday. I love how the natural light penetrates the entire home. If I owned this, I would add a small wood burning stove. And mosquito netting or burlap curtains on a track hung from the ceiling around the upper bedroom, as an option.
i Like much of the material used, but it needs more soft furnishings to warm up the color palette.
Not a fan of the big metal box in the middle of the loft. I think an opened space concept would've been better. But that's just my taste. You do you.
Exactly! This defeats the purpose of having an open space. If the guy is an architect, surely he could have done something more practical than dumping a UFO in the middle of the room.
schuuichiminamino omg yes I find it so gross
I like it. The sense of separation is needed (for me anyways) when having guests or others living with you. This also gives a feeling of the place being larger than it is when you can't see through from wall to wall (while you are going up the stairs or in the loft or bedroom). With all of the metal doors open it does give an open feel to the "ufo" lol. Like you said to each their own.
Trev L I disagree, I think this is more practical. Instead of building walls they managed space very efficiently in term of storage, shower, beds etc.
There still is an open area with kitchen, dinning place etc.
The design and the colors of the rounded box may not please everyone but the next owner can put it away as easily as it was installed.
Needs, space, tastes, projection... A lot of factors go into building and filling our little homes.
I personaly find this idea very interesting, I would have opted for more wood instead of so much metal :p
He could use another material, for me it's a good idea, and the most important is that is what he wanted
I don't say this too often, but this is awesome!!!!! Some drawbacks but they have created rooms with no need to comply with building codes because the structure is merely furniture. Brilliant!!!!!!
Really like how the light reflects and shines through these panels. brilliant!
What a cool idea! I love that it has a few designed holes in it to for a little light still while it’s closed up. Looks great, too. You could probably do something like that in various different colors, styles, and even materials. Tyfs!
The more homes I design, the more I realize that hallways are the biggest waste of space. The fewer the hallways, the more useful and livable the space. This turns the space into living in a box surrounded by a giant hallway.
In this case, the hallways are used as storage spaces. I actually liked it !! But 2 things : 1) I know they wanted to keep the industrial aesthetic but the pillars and the celling are a big no-no for me, they need to be colored or something 2)I would have made the kitchen in the same golden-leaves colors
I’ve been wanting to do something a little bit like this for years. I would probably choose a wood slat exterior but the way it problem solves privacy in an open space is magnificent
Where's the toilet?
I would pee in the sink
in the bathroom
Where? i didn't see one
Just open the window.
U just have to squish the poop down in the shower
I like this. It would be neat to have the island easy to take apart and reassemble, for more frequent moving. That way one could always bring their home wherever they end up. Maybe even to that forest - in the summer though.
I absolutely agreed with him the reason of curved corner!! I think the same when I do my designs!!
BRILLIANT, SOPHISTICATED, INSPIRATIONAL, HIGHLY CREATIVE, VERY IMPRESSIVE INDEED. THANK YOU FOR THIS AMAZING ARTICLE.
Looks very modern and nice clean lines. A great solution to a small space problem.
By manipulating a panel you get into the bathroom. You mean by opening a door?
😂
What a lovely space. I like how private the cube is.
Dang!! This place is filled with storage spaces! Clever designing. Thank you for sharing.
I love it. It's so zen and tidy full of light and intimacy. Plenty of storage. Just beautiful. I want to live there 💗
One thing that's kind of dumb is how the shutters covering the bathroom window can only be opened and closed from outside of the bathroom. So anyone could open them while you're taking a shower, but you can't close them!
Same thing with the bedroom. If you want to close or open the shutters, you have to leave the room and walk around that thing.
I can definitely see siblings doing this to another each other haha
Ikr. Same here.

Yeah, anyone. Hopefully you live with people that aren't assholes, but even if you don't, it would.still just feel very uncomfortable not being able to control your own privacy. Also, I could see that happening by accident alot.
The circulation corridor around the metal capsule is a brilliant space, it makes the apartment seem larger by creating an infinite trail . Love the shower! Showering “semi-public” and the sense of how we used to do in nature ‘millennium’ years ago must be refreshing. A lot of thoughts and rationals have gone into this home. Thumbs up! 😁👍
love it. this island in the middle is.a terrific idea, the one we have seen in previous Kirsten videos..
Love this, so unconventional and so much hidden space. I love the use of an island, and not walls. Cheers
I absolutely loved this space. I thought the ingenuity and creativity was extraordinary . The way the metal seemed almost soft was genius and the light 'flickering through leaves effect' in the metal shutters was mind blowing ! I couldn't really fault anything ! I loved it. If I had to change something it would be just to lower the ceiling space of the island module holding the main bedroom & bathroom to give a little more height & head-space for the loft bedroom ....maybe I would have had a slightly different colour for the cupboards in the kitchen section just to make it easier to find things .This home is amazing unique ,daring, intelligent ,clever and surprisingly beautiful !
I love this!
Normally it's form over function however this absolutely has both!
What a great use of the space. So much storage and such an open feel in the living area
I lived in 70 sqm with 2 bedrooms a living room and a big bathroom... I think that they didn't manage spaces properly
Love it, very clever use of light and space.
I love it! Special the light which coms through the panels. And the contrast between the materials ❤️
We love your style of documenting Kirsten. This is beautiful.
Love the division of public and private space. This apt has the program of a traditional house fit into a loft space formatted for the end user needs. Well executed. I do wish there were more soft finishes interior though. This man must lead a quiet life. I imagine all those panels make quite a banging sound when hit. Someone get this man a plant!
I really like this!!! I love that the main structure was untouched.... the ceiling, the row of windows, etc. Great job! This turned out beautiful!
This is terrible. Really butchering a potentially beautiful apartment. Zero culture here
@@m.w.6526 I agree with you My Lord, people who like something you don't clearly don't have any culture. Peasants...
You're absolutley right, Kiara 1001. I am glad someone gets it.
what an amazing space! I love it, thanks Kirsten
Stunning what you've done to the place. Beautiful work.
Brilliant! This space really excited me, I love it!
I adore this ... the concept, the materials, the styling... for an urban space, I find it delightful. I’d move in today!
This is amazing, beautiful and creative!
I need to put labels on the cabinets
Beautiful. I really like the style.
idk i like it, i think it makes the space seem bigger than it would adding walls for a bathroom and then making a bedroom space that isn't really separated. i think it's really nice.
I love it. All this in 65m2 is pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
This space is huge
A big metal box rather than partitions must be very expensive and makes it dark. It looks kind of strange, but whatever floats your boat. It would be beautifully airy & look huge with partitioned wall or white screens.
i personally like it. thanks for sharing.
Hermoso. Futurista y bello. Admirable como aún con las paredes y estructuras de metal y de cemento logró un diseño tan sutil ,acogedor y elegante !
It’s so RAW. I like it
Wow, Now that was very creative!
I really like this. So much storage space too.
an incredible interesting project; i love the gilded centrepiece
Nice editing... so smooth, so fluent. Awesome.
I would add, however, that giant box in the middle of the apartment is very clever! Esp with storage space. I would have chosen a different colour for mine, but I think it's quite cute and I would definitely enjoy living with it.
Clever and well thought out.
Best ting home I’ve seen! So unique
Beautiful space ♥
Brilliant solution. Kudos!
this looks extremely unique/ gorgeous and comfortable !!!!
Very creative.. Fabulous!
This is amazing! great work guys! such a wonderful modular incorporation in this space. Every space has a response and it is so unique it can never be questioned.......only ever appreciated!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!
I love it. I liked when he said when you walk up the stairs you are heading toward the light
Brilliant master. I'm amazed
The comments are kinda unfair, many of them are formulated in a way that reads "I dont like it therefore it is/must be terrible" - try to keep an open mind once in a while lads.
Some of us might not like the minimalist aesthetic that keeps polluting the world.
Some of us actually LIKES wood and old aesthetic.
If the man who built this likes it, that is perfectly good for him and I salute him, he made something that he likes that he can live comfortable in, but I lived in minimalist houses and apartments, its not nice its mentally draining.
PartisanGamer an open mind? That's for women who have to accept being penetrated.

@Kirsten Dirksen, Hi K.D. I've seen many of your different videos over time, and this one stands out as one of your best. I don't know the factors that make it turn out this way, but this was an interesting, thought provoking, soothing, peaceful walk through the "art" that is his space. You brought out the best in him. It wasn't too long, too short, repetitive. It was just a warm inviting introduction to a new space in Paris. Thank you very much. I so enjoyed it. :)
Like the see through wall idea. this material is very intresting. wanted to use it in my own home but dind t found any use... perhaps there will be doors out of it in the future.
Fantástico , los colores , los bordes , la unión de metal , los pasillos , muy creativo definitivamente .
While I don't love the metal panels (I'd have used other material, in the same way) I was blown away that there was an entire Bedroom inside it.
WOW! Unique and very modern....
I really like this!
Brilliant. Very brilliant.
A brilliant idea.
When the crazy art of an the architect surpasses comfort and beauty you end up with this.
Love it!
BEAUTIFUL............EXCELLENT, THANKS , FOR SHARING..........................
I love this. It seems really homey.
Not a fan of this, the artificial "hallways" in the back and sides seem to take away a bunch of space for no reason. This place without this island thing is ideal for an artist or young couple, just put a bed in the corner, bathroom in other corner and keep the middle open!! It has beautiful light beaming from all those windows
Yes, this is exactly what I think. A loft is great because it has space and if you don't like it as a loft in this case here they have enough space to build normal rooms. Furthermore I am afraid that living in a metal box is not healthy due to electrical rays etc.
Agreed. It's an ugly house. Never liked the rustic designs.
@@boomerangsruckflug8513 I'd love to hear more about how 'electrical rays etc' are created from metal with no electrical current and how you live in a home made with no metal and with no metal belongings or electricity
Well, this way he has 2 bedrooms instead of only one! Personally I would have put the stairway the other way around it would cut this big block into two smaller ones and give more light in the stairway.
Interesting idea, the beautiful thing about big spaces is the ability to do whatever suites you in style!
Really like this one. It reminds me of the couple who lived in the "nautical house" with their son! Cool find!!
Amazing.
I love what you do!🙏🏽 You capture creative ideas that bring us joy.
great vid..am i the only one who have goosebumps listening and looking at every detail..
I just love your videos. Thanks
Vraiment très intelligent ce module et très esthétique. Bravo à l'architecte 👍
I really like this idea, it's a cool way to subdivide a limited space. The only issue I have is with the deliberate decision to create a object that contrasts with the surrounding architecture rather than something that blends in with it. The shapes and materials chosen make this feel like a giant object taking up the space rather than adding to it. Overall, this idea can go places, especially in historical buildings and as a way to save construction costs.
Lovely!!!!!
Amazing!!! 💝
What an elegant place... artistic
Great video, cool space! What I don’t like is the go pro fish eye lenses
Kirsten, out of all the tiny apartment/houses you videoed, you should make a video of your personal top ten and why for us. Please!!😆
Hm. I'm not sure my opinions should count so much. I'm not in any way an expert in architecture and I like to let people, and the designs, speak for themselves. Though I do try to do documentary-length videos from time to time. I'd like to carve out time to edit something longer in the next year and those tend to have more personal commentary.
cool idea!
I might be one of the few that really like the concept. Usually people fail doing à nice living space in one room. This one is well done. Except the bathroom with that door that lack of privacy, the rest is great.
This is very interesting. I don't understand why some people feel so negative about it.
I quite like it. I personally wouldn’t wanna live in it but I can see how it would suit a professional couple.
i wouldn't do it myself BUT the designs (color, materials, ideas, etc.) are incredible
I love it! C'est super!
I love the transformation made as i love small bedrooms and a large living area. Love the shower with view. I am wondering if they treated the concrete walls and beams after stripping...otherwise it would be quite dusty...
Genius loft concept.
This is cool and clever and clean
I could actually imagine myself living there , seems very nice and spacey .
😍 love it amazing remarkable talent 👍😍
Living in a 11m² flat in Paris, this is the dream! He did a really good job!
