Recently completed projects
Beaumarchais project , Paris XIe
Alexandre enlisted Reno. to fully restore the Haussmannian charm of his apartment located on the iconic Boulevard Beaumarchais in Paris. After a co-construction design phase with our expatriate client, the works focused on a complete renovation: replacing the tiles with herringbone parquet flooring, creating moldings at the base, electrical work, custom-made joinery, bathroom, bedrooms: everything was designed to restore all its distinction to this friendly, spacious, and bright apartment. For the decoration, we oscillated between tradition and modernity, sometimes with subdued inspirations, and at other times, very contemporary ones. We primarily sourced from stores like Sklum, Selency, Maison du Monde, and some small Parisian boutiques: bookstores, marble workers, and the Saint-Ouen flea market.
Rue des trois maisons project , Nancy
Reno. intervened in the complete (including energy) renovation of this one-bedroom apartment intended for rental. Positioned in the strategic heart of the city, our client's wish was to offer a clean and cocooning space to the person who would occupy the place. It's a successful bet in the eyes of our client, to whom we proposed a versatile and well-lit living area with a characterful sleeping space in a "hotel room" spirit. This intention is materialized notably by the creation of a custom-made headboard that allowed us to incorporate electricity. Then, playing with wall sconces and bedding completes the look for an interesting quality/price ratio!
Amour project , Métropole Lilloise
In this typical house from the Hauts-de-France region, our teams completely rehabilitated this two-story house. With a pop and ethnic style on the ground floor, the upper floor reserved for the bedrooms stands out with its airy style. This "smart" house is equipped with home automation elements that provide undeniable comfort. From the inside to the outside, it now brings joy to the couple who have just moved in! It's a house with multiple facets, offering a range of atmospheres and designed to entertain friends... especially with its kitchen extending over two rooms, and whose work surface follows the structures of the house!
Copernic project
Between Bertrand and Sofia, it all began about ten years ago in this T2 located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. After moving to the United States, they never managed to break the bond with the first place where they witnessed the birth of a real story between them. Regularly visiting Paris, they return to this place that they wanted to renovate to meet their new expectations. Since then, their family has grown with the happy arrival of Colette and Joséphine... A challenge indeed to accommodate a family in this former apartment intended for two students. But that was without counting on the expertise of our architect Katia, who managed to transform this apartment into a T3 and give it back all its cheerfulness (and a better energy performance rating!)
Messine project
Alain shared his requirements for his 47m2 apartment in Paris XVIII. With the charm of Haussmannian architecture, the challenge was to carry out a renovation (including energy efficiency) with a cost-effective quality ratio while preserving the unique characteristics of the property.
Testimonials
Reno, and particularly Katia, took care of renovating my studio for furnished rental in Paris. They listened to each of my requests! And were always responsive when needed. Thanks to a beautiful renovation for such a small space, my apartment found its first tenant in just one day after the Airbnb listing went live.
I recommend Reno without any hesitation, and I hope to be able to call on them again as soon as possible!
Olivier .A
It was a real pleasure to carry out this project with Katia L. from rental investment.
All the specifications were miraculously respected within the given deadlines; I couldn't have sincerely hoped for better. Professional, empathetic, dynamic, and authentic, it was a truly enjoyable experience even though everything was managed remotely. I look forward to starting a new real estate project with this excellent team.

The result is better than I expected. Mathieu and Katia were fantastic, all my requests were followed up on and even more. The regular follow-ups, quick work, and constant communication were outstanding. I won't hesitate to call on them again and thank them once more!
Melanie. F
Very good experience. My project involved renovating my studio after initially renting it unfurnished, and converting it into furnished accommodation. Mathieu was extremely responsive and attentive. Katia did a remarkable job with the project management and furnishing. Excellent overall result.

FAQ
When our clients want to secure their construction budget, especially for a significant project, we recommend starting the design phase by creating detailed plans for the property (existing plan, project plan, demolition/construction plan, electrical plan, materials plan). These plans allow us to agree on a clear project roadmap that has been co-created between the client and the architect. They enable us to draft the specifications while taking into account the specific needs of the property, as we have all the measurements (amount of paint, number of outlets, brands, tile references, flooring, etc.). 'What is well conceived is clearly expressed,' and the more rigorous the project framing, the more it reflects in the success of the project.
In the context of the new legislation on building energy performance, the authorities aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the French real estate sector by 40% by 2030. After freezing rents for housing units considered as thermal strainers in 2022, measures are being specified for properties rated G, F, and E by 2023, 2028, and 2034. Undoubtedly, by the specified deadlines, these properties cannot be rented out for more than 4 months per year.
To counteract this issue, our architects primarily focus on :
- The insulation of the walls with particular attention to addressing thermal bridges.
- The controlled mechanical ventilation hygro B (CMVH).
- Replacing the windows (double glazing with argon gas), to which adjustable humidity-sensitive ventilation grilles are attached on the windows of dry rooms.
- The dry inertia electric heating system (when we are not in the case of a condominium where heating is collective).
A multitude of other options exist in addition to the aforementioned elements (heat pumps, solar panels, etc.).
The new DPE legislation has the consequence of creating new opportunities in the rental market in particular. It also underpins two issues on which actors like us must act: poor housing and the associated public health issues.
Choosing the right craftsman is a job for experts. From our side, our firm refuses to resort to conducting tenders for every project proposal. Indeed, working with quality requires that there be pre-existing trust between the architect and the craftsman, and that this relationship of trust is factual. This is how we have developed our network of partners throughout France. These are companies that handle all aspects of construction and accompany us on the 1000+ projects we carry out each year. Their insurance and guarantees are verified on a daily basis. We limit as much as possible the intervention of multiple companies on the sites for scheduling and organizational fluidity reasons.
The design deadlines for a project vary depending on the scope of the project. On average, it takes a maximum of 3 weeks between the first visit, the creation of the 5 plans, and the drafting of the specifications by the architect. As for the construction phase, several variables need to be considered: what is the size of the property? What ergonomic/logistic constraints are there for the artisans? What work needs to be done? It is up to the architect, based on the uniqueness of each project, to establish a clear schedule that the collaborating companies must follow. It should be noted that there is still time to be respected in the construction process: different trades have deadlines to meet (e.g., drying times), which justifies that, for consistency, their interventions must be sequenced. Finally, for a turnkey project (including furnishing & decoration), it takes 3 months for a studio/T2. For buildings (6 to 7 units), on average 6 months depending on the size of the units. Administrative phases may also be involved in some projects: submission of building permit applications, requests for subsidies, creation of meters, etc.
There are various grants available for energy renovation, with the most famous being the one provided by the National Housing Agency (ANAH). This grant depends on your taxable income and household composition and requires that you have the work done by a Recognized Guarantor of the Environment (RGE) company. Additionally, the general tax code provides for a reduced VAT rate of 5.5% for carpentry expenses, regardless of the quality of the company carrying out the work. Apart from these, there are also grants available under the Energy Saving Certificates (CEE) scheme, which are paid by companies recognized as polluting. Furthermore, there are other grants available, but their eligibility criteria may vary depending on the local authorities in the area where you purchased the property. Municipalities, departments, and regions may offer different schemes based on their political priorities.
We always work in pairs to ensure continuity of projects in case one of the stakeholders is unavailable. Therefore, the main contacts for our clients are the architect and the technical sales representative assigned at the beginning of the project. All our sales representatives are renovation experts by training (structural engineer, eco-energy engineer, etc.).
