HeJu renovates a spectacular apartment in the south of France

A terrace overlooking the rooftops of Hyères extends from this 40sqm apartment, recently renovated by French interior architecture studio HeJu.

The apartment is listed with Archik for €250,000.

The one-bedroom home is on the top floor of an early 20th-century building in the historic centre of the southern French town, a short walk from Villa Noailles.

Dark timber beams cross the ceiling of the main living space, above pale timber cabinetry and an abstract relief surrounding the fireplace. Terracotta tiles form the steps up to the south-facing terrace.

The material palette continues into the smaller rooms. Pink-toned limewash covers the vaulted entrance, handmade tiles line the shower and woven palm was used for the bedroom headboard.

From the terrace, the apartment opens above the surrounding rooftops — a small outdoor room in the middle of Hyères.
