It is located in a particularly sought-after part of the city, in the Vauban district, in Marseille’s 6th arrondissement.
A building between Art Deco and the Modern Movement
The architecture of the building is typical of the post-war years in Marseille, halfway between Art Deco and the Mouvement Moderne. The façade is monumental, with geometric volumes and a refined aesthetic reminiscent of the 1930s. The façade’s very simple modenature is made up of square mouldings that emphasise the windows, the canted balconies and the vertical skylight made of small panes that illuminates the stairwell.
It also follows in the footsteps of modern functionalism, in which the form of architecture derives from the function assigned to its interior spaces.
