Not all was lost, of this historic apartment, as Paris-based designer Pierre Yovanovitch<\/em><\/strong> discovered when he took on its most recent redesign for a French family. The unfinished oak panelling and bookcases remained, as did the pale pink marble in the entrance hall. For Pierre Yovanovitch<\/em><\/strong>, this was enough to fulfil the clients\u2019 wish to return the home\u2019s atmosphere \u201cto something more Jean-Michel Frank\u2014something more contemporary,<\/em>\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pierre Yovanovitch<\/em><\/strong> began by rearranging the floor plan of the 2,500-square-foot duplex. He kept the two main salons as they were, but almost everything else changed. He moved the kitchen from the back corner\u2014as was the case in old grand Paris apartments, \u201cbecause families had staff<\/em>,\u201d Pierre Yovanovitch<\/em><\/strong> explains\u2014to a more central location, and added an island with barstools. He turned the former kitchen<\/strong> into a guest bath and a powder room, and the dining room<\/strong> into a guest room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the flow was sorted, Pierre Yovanovitch<\/em><\/strong> played with the apartment\u2019s unusual design features, such as the small, round tower, where he put the wife\u2019s home office, outfitted with a crescent-shaped desk; the windowless staircase to the second floor, for which he commissioned a delightful fresco evoking windows and mouldings; and the 650-square-foot terrace\u2014a rarity in Paris\u2014which he tied to both the living room and the dining room, allowing, as Pierre Yovanovitch<\/em><\/strong> puts it, \u201can in-and-out that is very fluid<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
