DUPLEX APARTMENT ABOVE THE ROOFS OF BESANÇON Located in the heart of Besançon's historic centre, this duplex is set within a period building. It has been completely redesigned by its architect. The redesign prioritises light, spaciousness and generous living areas, offering beautiful views. Every element has been crafted by skilled tradespeople using high-quality materials, with a focus on harmony to create a cohesive whole. The windows frame views of hundreds of Comtois rooftops, notably Vauban's citadel and the River Doubs. The two south-facing open terraces extend the space outwards and complement this architectural style. This duplex apartment in Besançon embodies an approach where design, spaciousness, light and practicality come together. A HOLISTIC DESIGN DRIVEN BY DETAIL The apartment was designed as a coherent whole, conceived from the outset in terms of its volumes, circulation and materials. The living area is organised around a largely open central space, where light flows freely through the floor-to-ceiling windows and roof openings. The Greek white Calacatta marble flooring complements this pursuit of light and continuity, with a soft, mineral presence. Upon entering, a stained-glass window handcrafted in a workshop in Chartres introduces a palette of graduated blues. Prominently displayed, a staircase?a unique piece?rises to provide access to the mezzanine. Created by designer Roger Tallon, a leading figure in French industrial design, it unfolds its helical form. The bubbled crystal light fittings by Raak cast a focused, vibrant light thanks to touch-sensitive controls that adjust the lighting. Textiles by Clara Lander lend a softer, more subdued feel. The mezzanine, meanwhile, extends the spaces and supports their various uses, with a direct connection to the outdoor areas. THE TERRACES AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT Usually rare in city centres, these terraces here extend the interior spaces. Meticulously designed, they incorporate irrigation, lighting, power sockets and evergreen vegetation that gives structure to the space throughout the year. They become a living space in their own right, combining cooking, relaxation and everyday activities. Set within the roof structure, they sit set back whilst offering unobstructed views of the city: the quays, the Tour de la Pelote, the Church of La Madeleine, the Citadel and the museum all feature in the landscape. Access is direct from the mezzanine, creating a seamless flow. Two steps connect the terraces, without interrupting the flow of movement. The lines remain understated, the floors mineral, the vegetation discreet. Together, they form a structured outdoor space that is easy to live in. Here, one can dine, garden, or simply relax at different times of the day. An integrated outdoor space, in tune with the rhythm of the city. A LOCATION ROOTED IN THE HISTORY OF BESANÇON Located on Quai Vauban, the apartment is part of an iconic architectural complex. The River Doubs, the aligned and listed façades, and the proximity to cultural institutions all contribute to the identity of the location. The neighbourhood supports a fluid daily rhythm, with shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. The Citadel and the historic fabric place the development within a heritage context. This address strikes a balance between urban presence and an elevated position, offering a different perspective on Besançon, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. AGENCY'S OPINION This property is part of a holistic design approach, where every element finds its place within a coherent whole.
