FOCH is a minimalist residence by the Paris-based interior design studio Atelier MKD. Located in Paris, the project is a renovation of a 400 square meter (4,306 square foot) fragmented apartment dating to the 1950s and 1960s, introducing a new spatial coherence through a layout defined by fluid circulation and a bright, yet restrained material palette. Throughout the apartment, fluid forms and soothing materials work together to create a calm, cohesive living environment.

FOCH centers on a complete rethinking of the apartment’s plan, replacing disconnected rooms with a more intuitive sequence of spaces. Curved geometry becomes the project’s defining architectural language, guiding movement and gently easing transitions between rooms. “Rather than acting as decorative gestures, the curves shape the experience of the space,” says founder Marika Dru. As opposed to serving as a visual motif alone, the curves also establish a calm rhythm throughout the residence, allowing perspectives to unfold naturally while creating a greater sense of continuity.

The interiors are defined by a quiet palette of off-whites and warm mineral tones that emphasize texture over color. Textured mineral plaster responds to changing daylight, while Sainte-Croix stone, Roman plaster, and woven textiles introduce layers of tactile richness. Marble surfaces in the primary bathroom, alongside wood millwork and  Chantilly parquet flooring, add further warmth and depth. Furnishings are deliberately restrained, with clean lines and simple forms reinforcing the apartment’s sense of calm while allowing the architectural details and material palette to remain the focus.

With the Foch Residence, Atelier MKD demonstrates its approach to creating timeless interiors that balance minimalism with softness. Through careful attention to light, circulation, and materiality, the studio transforms a once-disjointed apartment into a cohesive home defined by quiet elegance and enduring simplicity.
