Illuminating Light, by Veeve

As one of Paris’s most visionary landscape artists, Henri Duchêne knew a thing or two about maximising aesthetic pleasure for the common good. An expert eye for detail saw him shape some of France’s most-acclaimed gardens. Given his flair for design, we can only surmise Duchêne would heartily approve of the quintessential Haussmannian architecture of the street that now bears his name; a street that also plays host to this gracious one-bedroom apartment. Here, you'll find yourself in the vibrant 15th arrondissement, home to an array of lively local markets and boutique shopping precincts, all watched over by the imperious Eiffel Tower to the north...

LIVING ROOM
Space abounds in the living area, judiciously configurated in an impressive open-plan design that maximises the impressive space within. Adorned with striking wall art that instantly draws your focus, dual aspect French doors open to a Juliette balcony that envelops this midcentury-inspired space with natural light. Crisp white walls and inviting furniture (including a sofa bed) add to the sense of serenity. Bibliophiles' holiday reading habits are also expertly accommodated by a discerning home library in the entrance hall.

DINING ROOM
Contrast is king in the exquisite dining area, intelligently zoned to feel at one with the living area while enshrining an intimate environment in which to dine alongside engaging company. Shimmering light from the French doors expertly illuminate the matte black dining set to establish a harmonious essence of yin and yang.

KITCHEN
Keen chefs will be in their element in this quarter of the 15th; the bustling market stalls of Rue Saint-Charles are just a few streets away while the world-famous Le Cordon Bleu is within reach on the banks of the Seine. After a whistlestop tour of the district’s many gastronomic wonders, bring your skills to bear in the stylish galley-style kitchen, fully equipped with key appliances and made complete by a snug breakfast bar.

BEDROOM
Boasting direct access to the balcony and offering a large double bed, clean lines and a pared-back aesthetic enshrine a sense of calm in the enchanting bedroom. In the corner of the room, the eye-catching cabinetry brings a burst of colour to this most soothing of environments.

BATHROOM
Sleek neutral tiles bring a contemporary vibe to the smart family bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower and wash basin. There is also a separate WC further down the entrance hall.

TERRACE
Shaded by potted plants, the quaint seating area on the terrace offers superlative views across the refined Rue Henri Duchêne, bringing a whole new perspective of the awe-inspiring 19th-century architecture that characterises this picturesque part of town.

WE LOVE
The ease with which this airy apartment intelligently draws in the light, deftly accentuating the impressive interior space within.
