A spectacularly renovated duplex in a former school in Royan
This spectacularly renovated duplex with impressive volumes in Royan was created in a former school and has a stunning style
Located in the center of Royan on the French Atlantic Coast, this spectacularly renovated duplex of 120sqm is housed in the former Jules Ferry School, built in 1907. The architects transformed this apartment by incorporating it into the spacious, historic spaces of this beautiful classical building. The charm of the past now dialogues with contemporary choices, creating a space that is both original and warm.
The ground floor is organized around a living room and a well-equipped kitchen. Raw materials, such as metal and wood, undoubtedly give it an industrial vibe. The color palette is understated, enlivened by a few touches of red and graphic elements. The wall posters add a strong sense of personality. It almost feels like a private gallery.
The centerpiece of the project is undoubtedly the double mezzanine. This architectural feature made it possible to create a walk-through master bedroom suspended above the living areas. Light flows freely, creating interesting perspectives. The spiral staircase leading to this level adds a sculptural touch to the room.
Upstairs, the master suite features its own elegant and functional bathroom. A second bathroom with its polychrome glass blocks completes the ensemble. The decor features carefully chosen details, such as the pendant lights and glass industrial partitions that define the spaces while allowing the eye to wander between them. The choice of furniture, with its simple lines and sturdy materials, reinforces the cohesion of the space.
This attention to detail gives the apartment a real presence and makes it a place that leaves a lasting impression. Its renovation has achieved a subtle balance between the building’s history and well-considered modernity. This transformation proves that an old building can become a remarkable living space, thanks to the work of talented professionals.
