Designer Visit: Hotel d’Hallwyl in Paris by Casamidy

April 1, 2011

Jorge Almada of Casamidy in San Miguel de Allende recently overhauled a Paris pied-à-terre in the Marais, which he shares with his wife and design partner Anne-Marie Midy and their children (and rents by the week when the family is not in residence). Here’s what Jorge says about the remodel:

“The apartment is located in the former servants’ quarters of the Hôtel d’Hallwyl, a national historic monument and the last hôtel particulier built in the Marais. It was designed by the architect of Louis XVI, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, in 1760. When we first saw the space, which had been renovated in a very generic way, we fell in love with the exposed framework and the terrace. In order to tone down the dry-wall effect, we painted the walls with Farrow & Ball London Stone. And instead of refinishing the floors, Anne-Marie had sisal carpets made to the largest possible dimensions. Throughout the apartment, we used shades of grays in order to accentuate the bits of color.”

N.B.: Casamidy is offering Remodelista readers 10 percent off on all orders (mention RM for discount).
