Contemporary apartment

Located on the fourth and top floor with an elevator, this 68 m² apartment is laid out in a T-shaped floor plan.

The spacious living area, with over 4 meters of ceiling height and exposed beams, features a living room with a wood-burning stove and a dining area. A fully equipped kitchen in brushed stainless steel completes the living spaces.

The night area includes 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, separate toilet, and built-in storage.

Two cellars and an attic provide additional storage space.

This property enjoys a prime location just steps from Place des Vosges, in the highly sought-after 3rd arrondissement of Paris. A vibrant area of the capital where 17th-century façades coexist with contemporary art galleries, museums, and queer cultural venues, Le Marais is a dynamic, lively, and family-friendly neighborhood.

Close to shops, restaurants, schools, and amenities, the apartment is 4 minutes from Chemin Vert station (Line 8), 6 minutes from Bastille (Lines 1, 5, and 8), and 10 minutes from Bréguet-Sabin (Line 5).

Jules Brisson bases his design project on the dialogue between a checkerboard pattern scattered throughout each space of the apartment and softer, rounded geometric forms. The living room’s okoumé wood paneling, the upholstery of the armchairs, the Portuguese pink marble tiles, and the stove’s tiles coexist with Eero Saarinen’s tulip chairs, the Turbo lamps designed by Louis Weisdorf in the 1960s, and the rubber flooring. The latter is the same as in the famous Maison de Verre by Pierre Chareau (1928-1931), giving this apartment a unique dimension, somewhere between modernity, design history, and invention.

By playing with scales, materials, and textures, the architect has created a true livable work of art, where every room and every detail has been designed or selected with meticulous care, such as the bamboo root handles for cabinets and doors, the wall sconces, and the brushed stainless steel kitchen.

A graduate of the École d’Architecture de la Ville & des Territoires de Marne-La-Vallée in 2012, Jules Brisson is a French architect and designer. After working in various architecture firms on diverse projects (public facilities, housing, apartments, etc.), he founded Studio d’Architecture Brisson in 2018.

He infuses each project with an atlas of references inspired by his travels, his imagination, and a certain inherited taste for the art of collecting, offering the current design scene and his clients a new French art de vivre. With carefully chosen materials and harmonious creations, he designs apartments, houses, offices, and furniture, always guided by the pursuit of coherence and an enveloping aesthetic.
