Strauss is a minimalist residence located in Strasburg, France, designed by YCL. Designing a functionally comfortable and aesthetic residential environment preserving the authentic elements of the interior of the apartment and interpreting classics in modern light was one of the main concerns for the architects. They wanted to distinguish several important elements – what is new and what is authentic. They arranged all this by choosing several combinations of colors: new elements utilizing darker shades and the antique elements remaining white.
