PALATIN

Reimagined by an architect, this splendid inverted duplex is the result of a bold undertaking: to bring a modern yet refined style to this jewel of the upper class. Contemporary furnishings sit alongside floor-to-ceiling mirrored fireplaces, superb cabinetry, rosettes, moldings, and marquetry. From the moment you enter, the spaciousness of the first level sets the tone with its impressive ceiling heights. Entirely clad in marquetry parquet flooring with geometric patterns, the living area unfolds in two distinct sections. On one side, the living room features built-in cupboards with rounded niches and a white marble fireplace. On the other side, an immaculate kitchen opens halfway up to a generous dining room. The spaces flow seamlessly into a 17 sq m Art Nouveau-inspired veranda, adorned with beautiful cabochon tiles. Its large metal-framed glass doors, highlighted by period ironwork, create a unique atmosphere, somewhere between a winter garden and an artist's studio. Flooded with light, it becomes a haven of tranquility, offering a connection to the outdoors. The garden is accessed via an elegant stone staircase, revealing an intimate courtyard in the heart of the city. A first bedroom, almost theatrical in design, completes this level. On the lower floor, the spaces are finished in terrazzo and house four en-suite bedrooms, two of which have access to an English courtyard, creating a direct link with the garden. A second kitchen, a laundry room, and a 79 sq m wine cellar complete this level.
