ApartmentParis 11ᵗʰ (75)

Late 19th century architecture, this building houses at the back of the courtyard, on the first floor, a charming 29 m2 apartment renovated in 2013 as an urban refuge in the heart of Rue Oberkampf, a stone's throw from Avenue Jean Aicard.
 
The entrance to the south-west facing living room impresses with its volume. Its 3.30 m ceiling height gives a feeling of space, accentuated by the open kitchen dressed in mirror and glossy black facades, a nod to a seventies decoration. The comfortable bedroom plays on different levels - first a sleeping area - then, thanks to a clever staircase, comes the office space above which is added large storage spaces. The bathroom opts for graphic contrasts in black and white. The apartment overlooks a charming paved and tree-lined courtyard, witness to the industrial past of Rue Oberkampf, a Parisian artery where artisan shops mingle with the effervescence of cafés and restaurants.
