About Chuquet
A Unique Transformation from Garage to Apartment
The Chuquet project by Atelier Apara represents a cutting-edge approach to urban living spaces, particularly through the conversion of a former garage into a modern apartment, nestled in the heart of Paris, France. Designed in 2022, this initiative was not just about creating a place to live; it was about redefining the concept of a livable space within a strict budget and architectural constraints.
