Staying in Paris - Une surélévation à Paris / Java Architecture
A crazy client. The story begins when we received a strange email asking for our help at the beginning of autumn 2017. The author explained to us that he and his wife just bought a house in ruins situated on the back of a Parisian courtyard and that they wanted to transform it into their family house. After a quick chat on the phone, we realised that this family just bought a pile of old stone without knowing if they would be able or allowed to do something out of it. For us, the client was completely crazy or a genius, without knowing the correct answer we decided to take part in this adventure which was going to last for a few years and hopefully helps a middle-class family to stay in Paris.
