Rent to Own.ph: A minimalistic stark white apartment is given character by the use of creative lighting.
The absence of natural light sent the owners of this tiny Parisian studio apartment to seek out the renowned French architect team of Betillon/Dorval-Bory. They ingeniously used spectral lighting to bring a polarized effect of artificial light to the tiny 65 sq ft space. The result is a sensation of warm and cool areas as well as a color blocked aesthetic. The architects share their mission for the space, "The apartment is designed in a simple and neutral expression, without color or particular detail, annihilating any architectural expressiveness or narrative to leave only the logic of composition generated by light."

The architects intentionally created the interior to be as neutral as possible thus giving the design elements a logical composition.

The kitchen sink can be seen through the stair risers which are lit by florescent bulbs from the side.

With all ambient lights turned off, the apartment is lit here by the only natural light available to the space through two large windows.

This detail shows two light spectrums, cool and warm, from two different types of bulbs. From kitchen to bathroom at the far end, the lights create a color blocked effect.
