Hôtel Particulier Floquet

2024
PHOTOGRAPHER: WILLIAM JESS LAIRD

This early 20th century private mansion in Paris, left abandoned for fifteen years, has been carefully restored by Hugo Toro, who aimed to preserve its original character while adapting it for contemporary living. Structural work reorganized the seven levels of the building and restored key historic features such as the wood paneling and the staircase railing.

The project focuses on creating a balance between warmth, intimacy, and a more expressive architectural language. In the living areas, custom designed pieces sit alongside vintage furniture and works by Hugo Toro, establishing a dialogue between past and present.

The monumental staircase is highlighted by a seven-meter chandelier in chrome and Murano glass, emphasizing the verticality of the space. Each room has its own identity, from the living room with its curved green ceramic fireplace to the main bedroom with bespoke textiles and detailing. The en suite bathroom, finished in green onyx marble, combines natural texture with a more refined aesthetic.

The interior pool, surrounded by plants and daybeds, along with a winter garden opening onto a terrace, extends the living spaces outward. The project is structured like a sequence of spaces, each with its own atmosphere, bringing the house back to life in a coherent and livable way.
