Description
Full Sea View in the Euroméditerranée District
A new marker of Marseille’s dynamism, the M99, designed by the Pietri Architectes agency, embodies an innovative urban program perfectly integrated into the city’s skyline, just steps away from “La Marseillaise,” created by 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.
The available units, family duplexes on high floors, feature generous living spaces and terraces, designed for a living environment that merges interior and exterior spaces. The entire complex has been conceived to offer an exceptional quality of life, from the nature of the amenities to the spectacular views of Marseille and the sea.
The living rooms provide dual exposure, maximizing air and light circulation. The kitchen, naturally lit and ventilated, can be separated. Each apartment, with oak herringbone flooring, includes numerous storage spaces, a reversible heating and cooling system, and integrated home automation (lighting, blinds, heating).
The M99 façade is over 50% glass, flooding all spaces with natural light, while protecting them from summer heat with a sunshade system integrated into the architecture through a layered design that pays tribute to the Provençal vernacular.
The M99 will be located on the Arenc quays, at the epicenter of contemporary Marseille, in a dynamic and sought-after district where Europe’s most ambitious urban development program has been taking shape for the past 20 years. An attractive residential neighborhood and an international business hub, Arenc offers an urban living environment combining contemporary architecture, environmental sustainability, and rich historical heritage.
Future residents of the M99 will enjoy proximity to all local shops and services, a wide selection of schools, and prestigious cultural venues such as the MuCEM, the Silo, and the upcoming J1.
A Vertical City on the Arenc Quays
Inspired by Le Corbusier’s legendary “Unité d’habitation” located a few kilometers away, the M99 project adopts a vertical organization and a diversified program, focused on residential living. The complex includes lobbies, shops, and a café, student housing, a hotel with a panoramic restaurant, and residential units on the upper floors, which will benefit from unobstructed sea views and private access to the landscaped rooftop terrace reserved for residents, featuring a belvedere offering a vantage point over Marseille’s natural and architectural heritage.
An architecture anchored in the future
The M99 consists of three superimposed cubic volumes reaching a height of 99 meters, separated by two “waists,” giving it a sleek silhouette. Each cube is marked by lines of continuous terraces and balconies running around the structure. The limestone whiteness of the concrete, inspired by the city’s heritage, the clean geometric lines, and the rounded corners evoke a “liner” aesthetic, dear to the modern architecture of the interwar period and a tribute to the site’s maritime history. The post-and-slab structure combined with a flexible grid design allows for the complete adaptability of the space and its program.
The M99 features contemporary architecture designed with a short supply chain, utilizing technologies that limit its carbon footprint, both during construction and for its future inhabitants. It combines low-tech principles, such as a sunshade system inspired by local vernacular or the creation of a rooftop garden promoting urban biodiversity, with the use of new materials produced and prefabricated in France, such as low-carbon concrete. The project is also connected to the largest marine geothermal loop in France and relies on renewable energy to significantly reduce electricity and water consumption, as well as greenhouse gas emissions for its residents.
Pietri architects
A native of 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 around the concept of romantic rationalism. His philosophy is expressed through a rigorous constructive design, combining spatial optimization with an expressive interpretation of the site’s features and history.
