ARCHITECT-DESIGNED LOFT WITH INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE IN THE HEART OF MARSEILLE

On the edge of the Plaine and Réformés districts, just minutes from the Old Port, this 208 sq m (Carrez law) loft occupies a former warehouse, meticulously reimagined by its architect owner.

Behind a discreet facade, the discovery unfolds gradually. A corridor preserves the element of surprise, then the main volume emerges in all its verticality. The living area spans nearly 80 sq m with a 4.40-meter ceiling height. The ceiling retains its original industrial framework, rhythmic and structural. Exposed metal beams, preserved columns, and raw materials all contribute to the space’s distinct character. Every element has been custom-designed. Bookshelves, storage units, and wall compositions extend the architecture into the furniture, with remarkable coherence. Upstairs, the kitchen opens onto a bright veranda, creating a suspended space between indoors and outdoors.

The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms of 20 and 25 sq m, illuminated by skylights. A well-appointed bathroom and a separate laundry room complete the layout. Underfloor heating and central gas heating ensure controlled comfort. A 22 sq m enclosed garage with an automatic door and a cellar of approximately 30 sq m, directly accessible from the garage, further enhance the amenities–a rare privilege in this vibrant and sought-after area. The facade has recently been renovated. This small condominium is primarily owner-occupied. A unique property where industrial heritage and contemporary design find a subtle balance.
