# Paris Stable-Transformed Homes Studio IDA Presents the Garibaldi Renovation Project By Amy Duong | Published 2025-03-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garibaldi References: [studioidaarchitecture](https://www.studioidaarchitecture.com/garibaldi)  The Garibaldi renovation project is completed by the team at [Studio IDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amsterdam-zuid). What once stood as an [old triangular stable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inverted-barn) is now a modern residence with a loft space. The transformation optimizes the limited space that is available for short-term rental. The building shows off a storied past and the interior needed a big overhaul. The main objective of the design team was to create a functional space which is also comfortable for a modern living environment while maintaining its original charm. The attic was used to store hay before and [converted into a mezzanine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-loft) to optimize the high ceilings -- these reached almost 20 feet at the end of the home to make it feel larger than it is.
