For one resident’s comic book collection, color was key: “We wanted to feature the comics without letting them become visually overwhelming,” says architect Antoine Santiard. “So we developed this box concept, where bits of white space separate all the shelves.” The boxes’ interiors are painted dark colors so when set against the white walls they function like dioramas, or frames in a storyboard. Most contain books, but others contain toys, a vintage Peugeot coffee grinder, a plaster bust of French pop star Claude François. Photo by Céline Clanet.
