During the renovation of this apartment, the idea of ​​creating stained-glass panels to screen an unsightly courtyard view became the obvious choice. The stained-glass preserves the entryway's bright, airy atmosphere while concealing the small courtyard. In doing so, the panels naturally reclaim the role historically played by stained-glass in Haussmann-style entryways: to screen, to decorate, and to let in the light.

The "palmette" motif was inspired by decorative elements already present in the apartment, where several wood partitions feature a vertical structure culminating in an arch or palmette shape. The studio chose to echo this style, designing stained-glass panels where a sense of verticality elongates the composition. Soft, rounded forms remain a key feature, thanks to the palmettes and the colored circles that punctuate the design.

For this project, the studio favored soft hues of dusty pink and champagne-colored glass. Terracotta accents add a touch of vibrancy to the overall look. All the selected glass types feature beautiful textures that blur the view, effectively screening the courtyard.

The stained-glass serves as the entryway's standout decorative feature. It sets the tone for the rest of the apartment, reflecting the space's atmosphere and creating a first impression that is both light and distinctive.
