The Story Behind the Space

I had originally created APT La Fayette with the intention of being a full-time home. It came at a time when I was craving rest and stillness, a place to be nourished and re-inspired, and so I designed it with beauty in every detail, with such special care.

I was intentional, imbuing it with a beauty that struck me to my core, one that made me pause, hold my breath in awe…and made me smile. It was so important to me because it was at a time in my life that I needed to be spoonfed inspiration, to wake up to it, to make my coffee to it, to bathe in it.

It was exactly that kind of extravagant yet everyday beauty that surrounded me for the years I lived there. It was this and the beauty of Paris that held me as I began to come back to life. It is for this reason that APT La Fayette holds such a dear place in my heart.

Since, I have moved to Vancouver, and I decided to share my special space with others.`We all encounter times like these, and it’s my genuine hope that APT La Fayette can give you as much rest, rejuvenation and inspiration that it has, and continues to give me.
