Description
An artist’s studio in the 14th arrondissement
This triplex artist’s studio is on the top floor of a 1920’s building which was home to the famous photographers Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, David Seymour and André Kertész, pioneers of war reporting, and the sculptor Diego Giacometti.
It has a floor area of 85 m² Loi Carrez (108 m² on the ground) spread over three levels.
The first level houses the living area with 4.5 metre high ceilings and a fitted kitchen. The middle level includes a mezzanine study and two bedrooms. The third level houses a bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. The upper floors are accessed by an original metal spiral staircase. A cellar completes this property. No lift.
All areas are bathed in sunlight thanks to the huge east-facing glass roofs.
In a charming private cul-de-sac just off rue Daguerre, between Gare Montparnasse and Place Denfert-Rochereau, the studio enjoys absolute peace and quiet, with an unobstructed view of the Paris skyline.
Live in a landmark of avant-garde architecture
The facade of the building has simple, functional lines; its design is based on the emblematic typology of artists’ studios in the Montparnasse district, which was home to the artistic and intellectual avant-garde in the early decades of the 20th century.
The 14th arrondissement has often been a testing ground for the most innovative architects of the 20th century. Le Corbusier, the Perret brothers and Louis Süe built some of their finest artists’ studios here.
