The Art of the Pied-a-Terre



a+b kasha is a Parisian company specializing in the sourcing, purchase, design and renovation of Left Bank apartments. The company, located in Saint Germain des Près, has earned a reputation for its elegant, turn-key apartments.

We especially love the apartment (3 images below) which is located on rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement. During the demolition the designers broke in the roof and found beautiful old wooden beams which they tell us on one of their blogs, opened up the space, and made all the difference.

Their site which is filled with heaps of inspiration also features many before and after shots of their properties.

Thank you for showing this. When I am feeling a little blue or bored I like to look up Paris real estate. Just in case I win the lottery of course! The 7th arrondisement is lovely - we spent our honeymoon there in 2003.

Linda - I bet you see alot of those!

Janis - sure, let's do it! ; )

Kate - i know, nothing like a bit of Paris real estate to shake off the blues.

Isn't it a shame that we no longer build such beautiful buildings anymore? So heartbreaking.

That bathtub in the last photo is a work of art.
