Description
Full sea view in the Euroméditerranée district
New marker of the Marseillaise dynamic, the M99 designed by the Pietri Architectes agency embodies an innovative urban program perfectly integrated into the city’s skyline, just steps away from the Marseillaise, designed by the Ateliers Jean Nouvel in 2018.
Characterized by a contemporary approach that expresses the ambition and creative energy of a metropolis in full transformation, it offers a selection of high-end apartments, between sky and sea.
This apartment spans an area of 57 m² on the 17th floor of the tower. It consists of a large living room bathed in light and a master suite with a bedroom and a shower room.
The apartment benefits from a 16 m² panoramic terrace with a sea view, creating a living space designed to blend interior and exterior all year round.
The entire M99 complex has been designed to offer an exceptional quality of life, from the nature of the equipment to the spectacular views of Marseille and the sea.
Here, the apartment is designed to maximize the circulation of air and light. The kitchen, naturally lit and ventilated, can be separated. It features oak parquet flooring in herringbone style, as well as numerous storage spaces, a reversible heating and cooling system, and integrated home automation (lighting, shading, heating).
The façade of the M99 is glazed to more than 50%, flooding all the spaces with natural light while protecting them from the summer heat through a sun-shading system integrated into the architecture, with a layered design that pays tribute to the Provençal vernacular.
The M99 will be located on the docks of Arenc, at the heart of contemporary Marseille, in a dynamic and sought-after district of the city where the most ambitious urban development program in Southern Europe has been underway for the past 20 years. A desirable residential area and an international business hub, Arenc offers an urban living environment that combines contemporary architecture, environmental standards, and a rich historical heritage.
Future residents of the M99 will enjoy all nearby shops and services, a wide range of schools, and prestigious cultural facilities such as the MuCEM, the Silo, and the future J1.
A vertical city on the docks of Arenc
Inspired by the iconic Unité d’habitation by Le Corbusier, located just a few kilometers away, the M99 project adopts a vertical organization and a diversified program focused on housing. The complex thus includes halls, shops, a café, student housing, a hotel with a panoramic restaurant, and residences on the upper levels, which will offer unobstructed sea views and private access to the landscaped rooftop terrace, reserved for residents, with a lookout offering a view of Marseille’s natural and architectural heritage.
An architecture rooted in the future
The M99 consists of three stacked cubic volumes reaching a height of 99 meters, separated by two narrow gaps that give it a sleek silhouette. Each cube is defined by the lines of terraces and continuous balconies running all around the structure. The limestone whiteness of the mass-tinted concrete, inspired by the city’s heritage, the clean geometric lines, and the rounded curves of the corners evoke the ocean liner aesthetic, which was beloved in modern architecture of the interwar period, paying homage to the site’s port history. The column-slab structure, combined with a flexible grid composition, allows for total adaptability in the design and programming of the space.
The M99 offers contemporary architecture designed with a short circuit approach, incorporating technologies that minimize its carbon footprint, both from the construction process and from its inhabitants. It combines low-tech principles, such as a shading system inspired by vernacular designs or the creation of a rooftop garden promoting biodiversity in the urban environment, with the use of new materials produced and prefabricated in France, such as low-carbon concrete. The project is also connected to France’s largest marine geothermal loop and relies on renewable energy to significantly reduce electricity and water consumption as well as greenhouse gas emissions from its residents.
Pietri architects
Originally from Marseille and a graduate of the Paris-Belleville School of Architecture, Jean-Baptiste Pietri advocates for an architectural approach that is both precise and poetic, built and developed around the concept of romantic rationalism. His philosophy is reflected in a rigorous constructive design that combines spatial optimization with an expressive interpretation of the site’s location, its characteristics, and its history.
