Art déco apartement

This through apartment spans 69 m².

The living spaces include a living room and a fitted kitchen in Formica, 1950s style. It also features two bedrooms, a bathroom inspired by the Hôtel Nissim de Camondo, and storage spaces.

The 1929 woodwork, adorning the entrance and living room, comes from a collector of precious stones. The property can be purchased without the woodwork.

Renovations carried out in 2016 improved thermal and acoustic performance, notably by equipping the windows with double glazing and the partitions with foamglass, a material also effective against humidity.

At the heart of a vibrant district and just a 10-minute walk from the Butte Montmartre in the 18th arrondissement, this property enjoys a prime location. It benefits from immediate proximity to shops, restaurants, green spaces, and cultural sites such as the Sacré-Cœur.

The building is served by Metro lines 4 and 12 at Marcadet-Poissonniers or Simplon, as well as several bus lines.

This characterful building showcases a distinctly Art Deco architecture, with an elegant terracotta brick façade. The structure features a typical period modenature based on a strong vertical grid, oriel windows, projecting balconies, and rounded corners. The orthogonal lines, volume play, and décor, sober through the absence of ornamentation and rich through the materials, lend the whole a singular and refined presence in the Parisian landscape.

In the common areas, the stained glass work with geometric compositions evokes the creations of certain figures from the modern stained glass revival, such as master glassmaker Louis Barillet (1880-1948).

Inside the apartment, an exceptional set of 1929 woodwork adorns the entrance and living room. The finesse of the design and the precision of their execution fully contribute to the remarkable character of this property, extending the Art Deco imagination down to the smallest detail.

André Granet (1881-1974), son of architect Louis Granet, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in the studio of Gaston Redon, from which he graduated in 1907. The architect then developed a rich and varied body of work, including residential buildings, industrial buildings, cultural facilities, and private mansions.

His career illustrates the transition of French architecture from Art Nouveau to Art Deco. His early works, such as the building at 30 Avenue Marceau (1912-1914), still combine nature-inspired ornamentation with a monumental composition inherited from the Beaux-Arts. In the 1920s, his aesthetic became more refined, adopting the geometric forms characteristic of the 1930s movement, foreshadowing the rise of modernity.

In addition to his architectural work, André Granet was passionate about aviation and played a major role in many exhibitions promoting the field of aeronautics. As commissioner and scenographer for numerous national and international events, he designed several lighting and luminaire setups.
