‘raw sparkle’ is an interior renovation project situated in the suburbs of paris. undertaken by WY-TO architects, the 130m² space is a former industrial warehouse turned residence. updates focus primarily on simplicity, with strong attention paid to both materials and design clarity. the home’s program is spread across two floors — ground floor & basement — with technical functions located in the areas set furthest back from natural light. most interior elements are coated with a semi-reflective finish that helps distribute sunlight, and creates dynamic reflections around the home. 

raw materials pay tribute to the industrial site’s past

kitchen 

cabinetry was designed specifically for the project  

thanks to clever partitioning, the master bedroom is totally private from the rest of the home  

vertical hinge points create a dynamic pattern throughout the interior 

closet and bathroom  

the wardrobe and other rooms that require less natural light are placed furthest from the windows 

semi-reflective surfaces help distribute light throughout
