VIRTUO

Renovated in 2013 by architect Philippe Dard, the apartment plays on both classic and contemporary codes, with its Haussmann style and rooftop house feel. The vast living room, with its incredible volumes and restoration, stands out from the rest of the apartment for its hushed, enveloping feel provided by its dark Cole & Son wallpaper. The wood panelling around the room, the fireplace, the period mouldings, the large wooden windows, the curiosity cabinet-style bookcases and the opus incertum floor tiles from the 1950s all lend the space elegance and old-fashioned charm. The uncluttered hallway delicately bridges the gap between the apartment's preserved old-world charm and its contemporary feel. A rounded opening has been made to make way for the original high window and light both levels at the same time. Like a mise en abîme, it reveals the kitchen, with its credenza of bespoke pâte de verre mosaics crafted by Pierre Mesguich in a beautiful shade of grey.Continuing on, the dining area is revealed, facing the bucolic terrace with views over nature. This space is followed by a vast bedroom with exposed beams and bespoke storage, enhanced by east-west light creating shadow effects on the solid oak parquet. Behind a sliding wall of corrugated wired glass, the bathroom, with its large bathtub overlooking the gardens and its alcove shower with tone-on-tone white mosaic, is hidden from view thanks to its one-way window. Finally, on the upper level, a second bedroom and study are set in a row overlooking the hallway.
The presence of a janitor completes the amenities of this property.
