Zachary Pulman Design StudioThe Brief
This project aimed to redefine the home’s functionality and atmosphere by moving away from uniform room proportions, creating a more dynamic spatial experience. The primary objectives were to maximise natural light in key areas, particularly the central staircase and kitchen, and to optimise room sizes while maintaining a cohesive flow. A crucial aspect of the brief involved navigating planning constraints to extend the kitchen space, ensuring it became more practical and inviting for family life.
The Design
To address the limited daylight, a full-length glass roof was installed over the expanded kitchen, flooding the space with natural light and transforming it into the heart of the home. For the central staircase, a large roof light was introduced, paired with a glass staircase, allowing sunlight to cascade down to the ground floor.
The design embraced a raw yet inviting aesthetic by exposing construction details such as bricks, joists, and floorboards, adding texture and warmth to the interiors. This was further complemented by oversized, curvaceous furniture, which softened the industrial elements and enhanced the home’s inviting feel.
An unexpected architectural highlight is the double-height void between the first and top floors, which adds visual drama and enhances the sense of openness. These carefully considered interventions transformed the house into a vibrant, light-filled space that meets the family’s needs while elevating its architectural character.

Gold and crystal elements, perfect American walnut TV stand and featured fireplace looks amazing together, giving that Chick vibe of contemporary-midcentury look.

Achim Venzke Dipl.-Des. InnenarchitekturAlle relevanten Wände des Wohnbereichs sind mit echtem Lehmputz versehen, in dem Niedertemperaturheizschlangen (ähnlich, wie bei einer Fussbodenheizung)) eingebracht sind. Dies zählt zur natürlichsten Art der Raumheizung. Die Wand fühlt sich selbst an kalten Tagen nur lauwarm an, denn die Heizfläche im Verhältnis zum Raum ist gross. Der Lehm sorgt für ein ausgeglichenes Klima. Man kann also auch traditionelle Handwerkstechnik in einer modernen Umgebung nutzen, ohne auf die klare Linienführung verzichten zu müssen.

Atelier OCTA Architecture-Architecture intérieureCet appartement du 6e arrondissement de Lyon avait un fort potentiel pour créer de beaux volumes et mixer le charme de l'ancien avec le confort du contemporain. La famille manquait d'une chambre supplémentaire et nous avons donc déplacé l'espace cuisine vers le salon afin de gagner un espace en plus. La cuisine nommée "Black Cube", est délimitée par une verrière permettant de garder une indépendance tout en créant transparence et luminosité avec le salon.
