At the end of a long courtyard and an unexpected garden, Holzrausch Studio has created a retreat where wood, light and restraint define the experience of living.
The client, a former model and gallerist, sought an interior immune to trends and visual noise. The German–Austrian studio responded with a near-monastic approach: a palette reduced to oak, plaster, stone and stainless steel; fully recessed lighting; mostly built-in furniture; concealed appliances; and a deliberate absence of art or decoration. The goal? To preserve serenity.

At the centre of the project lies the element that structures the spatial narrative: a sculptural oak staircase that channels natural light from the new skylights, distributing it across the home’s four floors. More than a vertical connection, it acts as a backbone and poetic gesture, turning light into material.
The house, around 350 m² and featuring four bedrooms, maintains a constant dialogue with the front garden. On warm days, the ground floor opens to the outside, dissolving boundaries and creating a rare indoor–outdoor living experience in the heart of Paris.

The rigour of the project is rooted in Holzrausch’s own history: a studio that began as a carpentry workshop and evolved into an integrated design practice, maintaining an intimate relationship between concept and fabrication. Italian plasterwork, Danish-crafted oak and Nordic lighting reinforce this international artisanal dimension.
Here, luxury doesn’t shout, it breathes. Holzrausch’s Parisian home is a manifesto of timeless simplicity, an ode to materiality and calm, built with the precision of those who know that sometimes the most powerful gesture is to subtract.
