Interior architect & designer, Guillaume Terver of the Paris-based studio Le LAD, transformed a previously windowless industrial space in the lively Bastille area of Paris into a family home for the founder of French jewelry brand, Médecine Douce. His delicate, elegant and contemporary design favours the use of raw materials such as concrete, pine and glass.

The space (200m2) was entirely restructured, preserving traces of its previous life - such as the original stone walls, glass ceiling tiles and a wooden support beam.

Each room gives on to a newly created central courtyard (40m2), its large patio doors bathing the space in natural light and vegetation.

Pine, which is used as a connecting theme throughout the design, has been employed for the oversized custom-made shelving that runs along the wall of the living room - serving as a bookcase at one end of the room and kitchen to the other.
