Turenne by Alicia Luxem Exhibits a Soothing, Natural Material Palette

A cozy, modern living room with a green sofa, wooden coffee table, and built-in bookshelf.

Alicia Luxem designed “Turenne” in 2023, at this Paris apartment, where the interiors are defined by the use of lime-plaster walls and solid wood floors. In addition to the carpentry crafted from metal and locally-sourced, natural materials, this aesthetic is complemented by a “cutting-edge” art collection. Pale, neutral tones create a “calm shell”, accented by bold-coloured furniture found within the space. Vintage pieces with their “own stories” add “a bit of variety of colours” to the design.

The Beauty of Timber Cladding

Striking architectural design with contrasting materials, patterns, and lighting.

As an architect who loves sustainable design, I’ve always liked how warm and unique timber makes a building’s exterior look.

Today, I’m keen to share what I know about exterior timber cladding – a flexible and beautiful option that more and more modern architects are choosing.
