H Fanny και ο Pascal, αγαπούν τα flea markets, αγαπούν τα do it yourself και τα σπίτια με χαρακτήρα. Κυρίως όμως, αγαπούν την ανακαίνιση και την μεταμόρφωση παλιών χώρων, δίνοντάς τους νέα ζωή. Πόσο μάλλον, όταν πρόκειται να στεγάσουν την δική τους ζωή μέσα.
Αυτό το σπίτι είναι το δικό τους. Και πριν γίνει δικό τους, ήταν ένα εγκαταλελειμμένο εργοστάσιο. Ο χώρος γύρω από το κτίριο ''φώναζε'' κάντε με αυλή. Το ενιαίο βιομηχανικό δάπεδο στους μεγάλους, ευάερους και ευήλιους κεντρικούς χώρους, τα παράθυρα που ''πειράχτηκαν'', οι τούβλινοι τοίχοι, τα προσεγμένα αντικείμενα που βρήκαν την θέση τους και τα απαλά ξεκούραστα και γήινα χρώματα, είναι όλα αυτά που έκαναν αυτόν τον χώρο, σπίτι. Ένα υπέροχο σπίτι. Στη Lille, στην βόρεια Γαλλία.
When Fanny and Pascal François discovered
the old factory near Lille , they fell in love. Now
they could create a modern home, which despite its industrial aesthetics has a
warm, relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
Fanny
and Pascal François are both very fond of renovating the places they
live in , have great interest in interiors, are both incurable flea market hunters and
advocate of do-it -yourself concept. Living
in the city or in the countryside does not matter , as long as it is a home
with lots of character . So
when they found an old industrial building for
sale, they plunged straight into the adventure. The
building had all that Fanny and Pascal could wish for : they loved the
astonishing and almost exaggerated proportions , and the vast ground around the
house made them already at first sight, begin to dream of a beautiful terrace
and a large, lush garden.
With
the help of Lille -based arkitektbyån Bo Architectures , the couple decided to
knock out all the unnecessary room departments that was a remnant from the
past, and instead create a ground floor where the kitchen and the dining room
is completely open to the living room. In
order to simultaneously preserve the original spirit of the building were two
specific elements that were important to the couple in the renovation: first, a
monolithic concrete floor , and the designs of the old windows , which have
been replaced with seemingly identical ones , though isolated . The
walls were sandblasted to restore the home's original brick walls.
