Loft in a former optics factory

Nestled in a peaceful, paved, and landscaped courtyard, away from the hustle and bustle of Rue Saint-Maur, this 110 sq m (101.80 sq m Carrez law) apartment occupies a former optician’s factory. Completely redesigned as a loft, it unfolds its spaciousness over two levels and opens directly onto the tree-lined courtyard.

The ground floor features a vast 54.08 sq m living area, combining a living room and an open-plan Italian kitchen, within a 55.47 sq m space.

The 3.15 m high ceilings, wide-plank solid oak parquet flooring, and exposed Parisian stone create a setting where raw materials interact with contemporary design.

Three dark green steel-framed glass facades, reminiscent of the workshops of the 11th arrondissement, allow natural light to flood in and extend the views of the courtyard.

A glass floor and two stairwells visually connect the different levels. A quarter-turn steel staircase and a ladder-style staircase, both custom-designed, underscore the unique character of the space.

A toilet with a washbasin completes the ground floor.
The lower level comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathtub, a separate laundry room, a storage room, and a toilet.

A rare find for those seeking a distinctive living space in Paris, combining the charm of a former workshop, open volumes, and the tranquility of a landscaped courtyard.

Professional offices permitted. Bicycle parking available in the courtyard.
