Open-plan spaces and a timeless charm: a Versailles-style loft

This exceptional 103 sq m (Carrez law) apartment on the first floor of a small condominium building is located in the immediate vicinity of the Place du Marché in the heart of the Notre Dame district.

Completely renovated in 2024, it is distinguished by its bold blend of Versailles architectural heritage (solid wood floors, high ceilings, classic windows) and contemporary design choices with a decidedly loft-like feel.

From the entrance, conceived as a "color box," the hallway is entirely clad--walls, doors, woodwork, and ceiling--in a deep, dark tone. This strong and enveloping choice creates an intimate and theatrical atmosphere, acting as a chic and hushed decompression chamber from the moment you step into the apartment.

On one side of this hallway, you'll find the master suite, worthy of a boutique hotel: the space is cleverly separated by a dark partition that serves as a headboard. The bedroom is enhanced by a boudoir/office alcove clad in marble, while the bathroom boasts luxurious amenities such as a freestanding bathtub, double vanity, and marble subway tiles. The change of function is emphasized by an elegant gray herringbone floor. A separate 5-square-meter dressing room reinforces the refined ambiance of the master bedroom.

Across the hall, continuing the apartment's sophisticated spirit, an intimate bedroom unfolds like a true sanctuary. Currently designed as a hybrid space combining an office and a music room, the room offers highly desirable flexibility.

At the end of this corridor, the majestic living room surprises with its generous proportions and bold architectural design. Bathed in light thanks to its tall windows adorned with authentic wooden shutters, this open space offers a rare sense of freedom and fluidity for such a classic address. The opening onto the kitchen creates a seamless visual transition. A delicate step and a change in flooring, featuring a bold gray polished concrete effect, define this space dedicated to gastronomy. The kitchen, a true link between functionality and design, is clad in light wood fronts with clean lines, enhanced by slim, black profile handles. The white marble worktop brings a brightness that is amplified by a clever backsplash of mirrored subway tiles. Topped by a discreet skylight, this bespoke kitchen incorporates high-end appliances, including an elegant Smeg range cooker with integrated hood and a built-in wine cellar. A spectacular reception room, where the subtle marriage of heritage and resolutely contemporary design creates a living space with undeniable charm.

A third bedroom of 13 sqm benefits from an adjoining bathroom that showcases a sharp industrial-chic style with its textured black wall, elegant mineral tiles, and a striking finned towel rail. A laundry area has been cleverly integrated into the closet. Another dressing room and a separate toilet complete this apartment.

The entire apartment is unified by a strong aesthetic thread and meticulous attention to retro details, such as the black Bakelite light switches and authentic cast-iron radiators. A masterful achievement.
