The seventh installment in Architectural Digest’s Behind the Design series explores the new Paris apartment of AD100 designer Joseph Dirand. The film adopts a refined approach, balancing the micro and macro to capture the nuances of Dirand’s architectural expression. Blending genres, materiality, and contrast, it becomes both a study in atmosphere and duality. An intimate portrait of an architect within his personal space, it offers a rare glimpse into the private world of a visionary designer.
