This historic building, built in the 18th century on the quai de Rive Neuve in place of the Arcenaulx, houses on its second and last floor an old sail workshop transformed into a loft with an atypical charm and iconic architecture.

Having undergone rehabilitation in 1968 by architect André Stern, which combines 70's design and marine inspiration, it develops nearly 135m2 of open spaces, sometimes offering views and sometimes opening onto an intimate patio.

Designed like a ship with a dominant wood aesthetic, it incorporates custom furniture, cabin bedding, porthole mirrors, and two metallic spiral staircases leading to each bedroom on the upper floor. The beams that were once used to construct boat masts have been whitened with lime, and the old tiles are covered with oak flooring. In a nod to the Study Case House program, the aluminum joinery opens onto the patio on offset pivots, and a stunning shower cabin is hidden in a bright orange lacquered wooden cylinder.

At the center of the apartment, a true living and gathering space, the living room serves all rooms and opens onto one of the rare terraces of the Old Port. In the foreground loom the Hôtel Dieu and the bell tower of the Accoules while, in the foreground, the view of the masts enhances the ship effect. A work commissioned especially from ceramic artist Ben Lisa, representing a topographic survey of Mont Lozère, adorns the living room and partitions the dining area.

Each of the two staircases leads directly to a bedroom located on the upper deck. One is open to the living area and plunges into the view. The other, at the back, benefits from light coming from the patio. In the center, the bathroom with dual entry connects the two.

A parking space can be purchased in addition to complete this exceptional picture.

A timeless place, rich in history and design!
