The clients bought the loft as an empty shell with concrete walls and a view over the Saône. We kept the concrete ceiling but softened everything else: oak floors, linen curtains on ceiling tracks and a sleeping room screened by slatted oak that lets light through.

All storage is built into one long wall, so the living space stays open and calm.
