6. A Renovated Home That Stretches Sunlight in Paris
When converting a former garage into a compact home for a family of four in Paris, French interior designers Céline Pelcé and Géraud Pellottiero of Atelier Pelpell located the glass-enclosed bedroom in a part of the living room that would allow it to make the most of the natural light pouring in from the windows.
After repurposing the former garage, the space has now been transformed into a surprisingly spacious 700-square-foot home.
