Pascal Grasso Architectures of France have installed a landscape of blocks across the ceiling in this monochrome apartment in Paris. The plaster boxes conceal functions like lighting, air-conditioning, a sound system and ventilation.

The project data are promising and simple: a private client, an apartment in the center of Paris, duplex, an area about 280 m², a large terrace. The challenge is to connect the apartment with the terrace. A large volume, opened directly on the terrace, is created. It will become the main space of the floor, the reception room. The bedrooms are rearranged on the first level.

Device, consisting in visual accumulation of volumes, creates rhythm in the new space. They invade the floor, walls and ceiling. The ceiling is the strong element structuring the room. via
