Old mill transformed into a comfortable flat

Friday, July 9th, 2010

ApartmentThe Architect Nicolas Vignot transformed part of an old mill by using modules of metal and glass in the comfortable flatlet. Manifestly failed to preserve the original spirit of the industrial site, which had been steam room. Its area is 48m2, with the doors and moving parts can be used whole as a photo studio. Or when they are closed to flatlet has a large living room and secluded spaces, however, maintaining access to light.
The bedroom also has industrial elements such as pipes above and below. But overall I think it is quite romantic with red blankets and the red wall. Wardrobe is hanging from lacquered MDF, with doors opening pressure. Attractive bedroom furniture is designed from IKEA, with a mighty lamps are Artemide. Panels which separate bedroom from the living room, actually are polycarbonate, in opaque glass.
Dining area is located in the largest part of the dwelling. The dining room furniture is beautiful. It is located table with plywood. Bottles / vases on it are Cornar Shop. Stools are like those in schools which is why I truly hate them … were bought by Manutan. The dining room is separated from the kitchen, bathroom and bedroom with a clever system of glass panels.

This is optional. Another is both their desire to have privacy, yet be able to enjoy the surrounding area. This is achieved by windows are left in the old wall and through the flat roof, which leads to a spiral staircase and a playground, which reveals the entire plane. Together with the beautiful exterior and amazing style, the house is offering comfortable living and nice bedroom.
