This 269 square-foot Parisian pad is located in Montmartre, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

It was recently renovated to maximize the living spaces by Paris-based firm Swan Architectes.

Prior to its renovation, the small apartment lacked both natural light and generous spaces. Its new design offers a minimal yet functional two step process.

The existing plain wooden wall, that used to strongly divide the dwelling space, was reduced to its bare structure, creating a filter between the night and day zones within the studio apartment.

The deconstructed wall is now utilized as a display shelf, allowing the sunshine to reach the entire apartment.
