Panoramic flat

On a high floor, the flat offers 134 m² living space.

On the Seine side, it features a beautiful living area with lounge and dining room, a study/library and a bedroom with en suite shower room. Each of these three rooms is extended by three large original loggias, which can be transformed into terraces in summer thanks to their sliding glass roofs. On the south-facing side, with views over La Défense, there is a kitchen, three adjoining bedrooms and a shower room. A parking space and a cellar complete the property.

Facing the Seine, it offers spectacular views of the Seine and Ile de la Jatte, the monuments of Paris (Eiffel Tower, Sacré Coeur, etc.) and La Défense from all its spaces.

The flat’s original décor has been preserved, with red carpeting, warm wood panelling on the walls, and sliding wooden doors and pivoting doors, making it a fine example of 20th century architecture.The panoramic framing of the openings onto Paris is an integral part of the building’s architectural design and contributes to the high quality of its living spaces. The loggias, set slightly lower than the interior spaces, widen the angle of view and allow you to enjoy the entire landscape.

The building implements the double facade concept developed by the architect in the 1960s. The load-bearing walls, staggered within the building, allow vast openings to be made over the entire surface area of the façade, which is then superimposed with a second, lighter skin. This arrangement creates intermediate spaces, closed loggias and open balconies, allowing people to live in the sky all year round.

The building’s external envelope alternates bands of glass, metal, concrete and coloured surfaces, in a “Scottish motif” typical of the collective architecture of J. Dubuisson.

Jean Dubuisson (1914-2011), a prolific builder of large housing estates in the 1950s and 1960s, was one of the leading architects of the Trente Glorieuses period. His style and quality of use were widely recognised, both in Paris and in the suburbs.

He designed numerous property programmes, both for low-income housing associations, such as the “La Caravelle” housing block in Villeneuve-la-Garenne (1959-1968), and for luxury projects such as the flats for the headquarters of the Allied Forces in Europe, the “Shape village” in Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1951). He has also designed emblematic buildings in Paris, such as the two apartment blocks in the Maine-Montparnasse development (1966) and the Musée des Arts et Traditions populaires (1969).
