Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2016, La Cité Radieuse in Marseille is an iconic work of Le Corbusier. Built between 1948 and 1952 during the post-war reconstruction, it represents the culmination of his research on housing and modern architecture. This type E duplex was renovated in 2016. The extension of the kitchen into the living room was removed, allowing the space to revert to its original typology: a void above the living room, enabling light to flood the living areas as Le Corbusier envisioned. It offers approximately 90 square meters of living space on two levels. The upper level features an entrance with storage, leading to a kitchen redesigned in the 1970s by an architect in the space of the original kitchen, a dining area open to the living room on the lower level, and a double-height skylight. The lower level, accessible via a Jean Prouvé staircase, comprises the sleeping quarters and the living room. The latter, with its double-height ceiling, is characterized by its spaciousness, abundant natural light, and an outdoor loggia. The sleeping quarters consist of a master bedroom and a bathroom. It also benefits from an outdoor loggia overlooking the mountains and the city of Marseille. The apartment also features ample original storage.

19th-century architecture, this discreet building in the Vauban district houses a 119 m2 duplex on its 2nd floor, marked by a poetic reinterpretation.     Redeveloped in 2021 by the architectural firm Un jour d'avril , this project reveals the luminous soul of the place and its sensitive atmosphere. The heart of the project: a majestic and swirling pink marble staircase, which crosses the space like a narrative thread. Both massive and curved, it structures the volume and subtly dialogues with the original elements of the building: cement tiles, restored woodwork, iconic light fixtures suspended in the stairwell. On the first level, the sleeping area unfolds in an intimate atmosphere: a large suite with its bathroom integrated with graphic cement tiles, then a second bedroom completes this level as well as a discreet office and a functional laundry room. Upstairs, the spaces open onto a large, light-filled space, accentuated by panoramic wallpaper and a fluid flow between two living rooms. The kitchen features a blue wall with masonry niches and a central island. A third bedroom, set back, offers an ideal space for entertaining or working in peace. A large cellar completes this property.     A sober and warm atmosphere.
