For this project, Groupe Cartier acted as interior designers and cabinetmakers, creating a space where urban heritage engages with a refined, functional, contemporary design. The layout showcases the existing volumes while introducing custom elements with strong architectural value.
The result: a bright, practical and welcoming kitchen, where a skylight highlights carefully arranged textures and contrasts. Simple yet chic, this timeless design turns the space into a unique sensory experience.
The kitchen stands out through the integration of custom Miralis cabinetry, known for its precise fabrication and clean lines. The midnight blue cabinets, accented with brass hardware, play off a light-toned island and a herringbone wood floor. The layout was designed to offer smooth flow, optimized storage and a welcoming experience.
The blown-glass countertops, true sculptural pieces, are a signature element of the project. Their handcrafted finish, unique texture and interplay with light bring depth and character to the space, turning a functional surface into a design piece.
The custom wine cellar, elegantly integrated at the heart of the kitchen, ensures optimal bottle storage while playing a central architectural role. It acts as a visual point of transition, reinforcing the refined identity and cohesion of the whole space.
