NAME Architecture has designed the ‘White Apartment’ as a result of transforming a single family sized flat along with a studio in Paris, France.
The combined apartment has been designed for family-friendly living, with an open communal space that includes a living room, dining room, and kitchen, which cater to a variety of different activities and create a space for entertaining guests.
The designers also chose to keep some of the original wood structure and integrated it into the new layout.

Throughout the apartment, like in the kitchen, the finishes have been kept minimal, creating a neutral yet stylish backdrop to family life.
