Loft with garden

The loft spans 210 m² LC (228 m² total area), distributed over three floors and extended by an 81 m² tree-lined garden.

The ground floor opens onto a large 11 m² entrance hall leading to a vast 92 m² reception area.

This space includes a living room with a closed-hearth fireplace, a dining room, a workshop area, and a separate kitchen. These rooms retain the qualities of the former factory, such as workshop doors, skylights, and a remarkable ceiling height of nearly 9 meters, providing abundant natural light and character.

This floor also features a pantry, a separate toilet, and direct access to the garden.

A monumental wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where a gallery and an anteroom serve the four bedrooms of the night area. Three bedrooms are on the second floor, including a 25 m² master suite with a bathroom and toilet on the top level, accessible via a spiral staircase.

The second floor also includes a 9 m² shower room, a toilet, and a workshop/office space.

The third and final level comprises the fourth bedroom and storage space under the eaves. These upper levels benefit from ample air and light, thanks to the skylight and the void overlooking the central space.

The property features an 81 m² tree-lined garden and a swimming pool covered by a large retractable terrace. It also includes a cellar directly accessible from the kitchen and a parking space located in the large tree-lined courtyard of the co-ownership.

This mixed-use property can accommodate the practice of a liberal profession.

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Robespierre metro station (Line 9) and close to the Parc de la République, the apartment enjoys all amenities (shops, restaurants, market, school, etc.) in a calm and sought-after environment.

It is located at the gates of Paris, only 15 minutes by metro from Nation (Metro lines 1, 2, 6, 9, and RER A). The Bois de Vincennes is 15 minutes away by bus.

Housed in the heart of a former printworks, this contemporary loft was redesigned in 2004 by Emmanuel Dougier, an interior architect known for various projects converting industrial spaces.

The interior layout preserves the framework of the old factory, offering generous volumes and impressive ceiling heights. The uniqueness of the place lies in its architecture and details, such as the exposed steel structure, the coffered wooden ceilings in the style of Catalan vaults that adorn the living room and dining room. These ceilings harmonize with the solid oak parquet, wooden staircases, and workshop-style doors.

The apartment also stands out for its remarkable brightness, thanks to numerous skylights that invite the garden and sky into the home. All these elements extend the industrial identity of the place, recalling its original purpose while adapting it to the demands of contemporary living.

Emerging in the United States after the wave of deindustrialization in the 1970s, the loft movement spread to France in the 1980s. Completed in 2014, this contemporary rehabilitation is part of the ongoing history of lofts, particularly developed in the eastern part of Paris due to its industrial past. These spaces fascinate aesthetes, collectors, artists, architects, and musicians, eager to experiment with new ways of living. Open-plan layouts, raw materials, and large, unpartitioned volumes have become sought-after qualities for this unique architectural typology.
