About La Tête dans les Etoiles
As we embark on an architectural journey through “La Tête dans les Etoiles,” a charming B&B apartment hotel in the heart of Paris, we witness the visionary work of François Champsaur, crafted in 2017. This contemporary haven, a marriage of modern chic and industrial grace, beckons us to explore its crafted spaces.
A Modern Day Refuge in the City of Lights
Upon entrance, the living room greets us with its high ceilings and expansive windows that draw the Parisian skyline into the intimate space. Here, sleek lines meet raw materials, a signature of Champsaur’s design, allowing the room to breathe sophistication and comfort. The iconic lounge chairs and the natural wood elements ground the experience in both luxury and simplicity.
Transitioning to the kitchen, the narrative of contemporary elegance continues. Matte black cabinetry and countertops contrast with the warm wooden floor, a nod to the designer’s penchant for balancing hues and textures. The open plan encourages conviviality, a prerequisite for the B&B’s atmosphere. It is a space that promises shared stories and culinary adventures.
Intimate Spaces, Grand Designs
Moving inward, the bedroom presents a sanctuary where vibrant art pieces become the focal point, offset by the understated luxury of crisp bedding and minimalist furnishings. The adjoining bathroom, encased in glass, echoes the apartment’s transparent theme, offering a serene retreat with its sculptural tub and marble finishes.
Another bedroom offers a similar embrace of bold artistry and refined comfort. The presence of the artwork energizes the room, while the bespoke details, from the tailored headboards to the strategic lighting, underscore the bespoke nature of “La Tête dans les Etoiles.”
A Confluence of Art and Architecture
Not to be overlooked, the study area is a tableau of function and form. The tailored wooden desk is a statement of intent, surrounded by iconic seating and punctuated by geometric patterns. It is a workspace that fuels creativity, surrounded by the Parisian muse.
Finally, the narrative of this Parisian gem culminates in the masterstroke of design: the multi-functional living space under the gabled roof. Here, the city itself plays a character, with the glass-paneled ceiling framing the stars above. The interplay of light and shadow, the curated furniture, and the open flame of the modern fireplace all collaborate to create an ambiance that is both dramatic and inviting.
Through “La Tête dans les Etoiles,” François Champsaur has not just designed spaces, but composed an ode to Parisian allure. Each room tells a story, contributing to a narrative that speaks to the soul of contemporary design in the historic city. It is a place where the stars seem within reach, and the bustle of Paris fades into a whisper.
