The staircase, clad in natural Nuss Empire stone (Blanc Carrare), seems to float in the air as if it were carved from a single huge block of stone, and is enclosed by a balustrade designed by Studio MTX. An element composed of several thousand small metal tubes in copper, pale gold and nickel finishes attached to metal wires. It unfolds like a translucent veil. The space is lit by a minimalist suspension from the Coordinates series by the Italian lighting company Flos. The tones? Sober and warm for the receptions opening onto the outside and the garden.<\/p>\n<p>The walls are adorned with sconces from the French art foundry Entrelacs Cr\u00e9ations. Two sofas by Christophe Delcourt take pride of place around the sumptuous Josephine coffee table by the Ado Chale workshop. The magnificent Versailles parquet floor in natural oak with interlaced diagonal patterns by the parquet maker Rocacher seems to recall the splendid times of yore.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1361\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1361\" class=\"center wp-image-1361 size-full\" title=\"VILLAS Decoration Lempereur\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villasdecoration.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/villas-decoration-Lempereur-parisian-elegance-2-ok.jpg\" alt=\"VILLAS Decoration Lempereur\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Guillon-Lempereur et Olivier Lempereur\/Photo: Francis Amiand in VILLAS 109<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Complementarity_the_key_to_a_luxury_residential_architecture_project\"><\/span>Complementarity: the key to a luxury residential architecture project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Guillon-Lempereur and Olivier Lempereur have a wide range of experience in the design of living rooms, libraries, offices, dressing rooms, kitchens and colour advice.

The light-filled kitchen was designed by the Italian brand Boffi. It features an unbleached quartzite worktop with an ecru veined quartzite (Blanc Carrare) and a custom-made wine cellar by Provintec. The latter houses some of the great vintages dear to the owners.
