Having found the ideal family home, the owner of this Paris flat did what any self-respecting perfectionist would do: he stripped out everything – floorboards and all – and started again. So was it worth it? Mais oui, says Muriel Zagha. 'I am not a psychopath,’ the 35-year-old architect Joseph Dirand states with some amusement. 'The fact is I’m rather messy, which is why it’s important to have everything in its place.’ This is something of an understatement, for Dirand’s Parisian flat is a serene, modernist composition in black and white that is devoid of any evidence of mess. |
