The commission taken on by Olivia de Pazzis Hanemian and AIM Hanemian Architects was to decorate a Haussmannian period apartment building in the heart of Paris 16th arrondissement and another at the back of a courtyard after a complete rebuild.

Lighting for the complete project came from hidden sources suspended in ceiling panels at various points. A glass stele sculpted by the artist Yan Hervis is sited on the main staircase. By means of a projector located in the courtyard it sends up on to the suspended ceiling an abstract design of the 1930s, contemporary with the date of the building.
