Inside a quiet Parisian villa, this 1920s duplex distills the art of compact modernist living. Once an artist’s studio, its 30 sq m were reimagined in the 1960s by Swiss engineer Charles Vienne and designer Janette Laverrière. Inspired by Le Corbusier’s open-plan principles, the space combines custom mahogany furnishings, a hidden kitchen, and multifunctional features enlivened by bold color. Laverrière’s mastery of light and storage transforms its modest scale into a luminous, efficient haven—both timeless and ingeniously crafted.

Originally from Prague, architect Karl Kohn—who once ran a successful pre-war practice with his brother Otto—relocated to Ecuador with his family. In Quito, he and his wife Vera settled in the Mariscal district, where Kohn designed their home: Casa Kohn.

Completed in 1951 and inaugurated by former President Galo Plaza, the house was soon recognized as Ecuador’s most modern, earning multiple awards. Kohn’s design integrated built-in furniture that created sculptural, unexpected spaces—like this rounded bedroom desk, where I stayed while documenting the home in 2021.
