One of the most instagrammable places in Paris — the Hotel San Regis, was built for private ownership in the late 19th century. Privileged by the Champs-Elysées, it was already bought in 1923 and became a luxury hotel, a center of fashion and pleasure of high society.

In 1985, the current owners renovated the hotel with antique furniture, vintage wallpaper and furnishings.

The house-manifesto proclamation of a new normality. The classic roof outline is hidden inside a cubic volume. The through-aisle  — central element of the design, the result of the evolution of the concept «patio». Almost all of the windows face inward, not outward, conveying the message of turning inward and reflection.
