luxury apartment / penthouse for sale La Joliette district of Marseille 2ᵉ, France

Contemporary architecture awarded the Pyramide d'Or for best real estate program, the M5 Les Docks block, designed by Roland Castro on the site of a former industrial area of La Joliette, houses this duplex loft of nearly 125 m2.     Designed in the spirit of a townhouse, it benefits from an independent entrance, a 15 m2 garden, a 20 m2 landscaped patio and a double garage directly connected to the house. After passing through an unexpected landscaped passage, a flowery gate opens onto a garden where Cassis stones, bricks and Eiffel-inspired metal beams intertwine with lush vegetation. Designed to respect the industrial style and urban character of the building, the loft features a generous double-height living space adorned with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and solid jojoba wood flooring. The open-plan kitchen, designed around a large oak worktop, contrasts with a backsplash of pale green lava stone. Extending from it, the patio forms the true green heart of the property. Philodendrons, palm trees, and cacti create a tropical-inspired setting beneath a fully retractable, custom-made skylight. When closed, it transforms the patio into a winter garden, providing a genuine additional room; in warmer weather, it opens completely to the sky, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors. From the living room, a stylish hallway leads to a first bedroom that opens generously onto the patio. Its en-suite bathroom features a more refined aesthetic with golden tones. Upstairs, two bedrooms bathed in the morning sun share a spacious bathroom. Directly accessible from the loft, the double garage completes the layout, giving it the functionality and fluidity of a true townhouse.     An exceptional living environment within a unique architectural complex in Marseille.
