Style and decoration of the apartment

As the building where the apartment is was designed to host the officers from the French Colonial army and their families (the military school is 100m from here) and  some noble construction materials was used. We have decided to protect this past and offer to you a piece of real Paris from 1870.   
During the renewal works 3 construction elements was decided to be highlighted
.

All three are original 19 century components of the apartment

a)
     
The Oak on the floor
b)      The Brick on the ceramic floor and kitchen walls
c)      The Sand Stone from the main wall of the room.

Two of these elements was dismounted (oak floor, brick ceramic) then renewed and remounted back.  Two pieces of original walls was cleaned from the plaster to display the original construction elements.

 We had  to complete it  with some modern materials but we used only natural stone and wood : red and coffee marble in the bathroom, mounted according to 19 century  techniques, to link with  the sand stone and the brick , several types of  colonial oak to link with the  oak floor  and the colonial history. The furniture was also carefully selected for your pleaser and the colonial style. Even the porcelain and the shower tap (covered with fine gold) are from this colonial period (good copies)

There is also a 2m high Bamboo tree in a small marble stone garden to remind these dolce vita times.  

The equipment is all modern and high-tech : computer driven, induction hotplates to make high level kitchen, TV with MP3, DVD and CD reader, sophisticated micro-waves combined with grill and oven.
.. You can also  have a phone and internet access (on demand).

 Just come and enjoy.
