Paris-based Iranian architect Saba Ghorbanalinejad has a approach with tough plans. Her work facilities on remodeling misconfigured areas into purposeful interiors with the revolutionary high quality of twentieth-century Modernism. Living proof: the entire renovation of a 65-square-meter condominium in a Nineteen Seventies constructing in Paris’s eleventh arrondissement. The unique format, typical of the period, strictly separated day and evening areas. Ghorbanalinejad reconfigured the area as two openings carved round a central core: “a nucleus which organizes circulation and permits gentle to move freely from one façade to the opposite.”

Accomplished in November of 2025 after a tidy nine-month renovation, the condominium was designed for a younger couple—a ebook writer and an engineer—and their child. With a refined eye for structure and supplies, the shoppers had been effectively matched with Ghorbanalinejad, who developed a thought of palette of waxed concrete, chrome steel, and Okoumé wooden.
