An architect’s signature in Saint-Maur, somewhere between a loft and a house

There are houses you visit. And then there are those you pass through as if it were meant to be. In Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, between La Pie and Saint-Maur-Créteil, a stone’s throw from the banks of the Marne (a discreet haven for joggers, cyclists, and morning walkers), lies a 1990s house with a rare character: an architectural triptych of 119m2 of living space (152m2 of floor space), perfectly integrated into its surroundings.

A tree-lined, private, and secure driveway precedes the entrance. Then, everything opens up. The generous entrance immediately offers a welcoming cloakroom before giving way to the heart of the home: a spacious living room, bathed in light, enhanced by a sense of height and openness. The eye rises. The space expands.

The semi-open kitchen engages in a harmonious dialogue with the main room: neither completely hidden nor overly prominent. Cooking takes place within the flow of the house, within the conversation, within life itself.

And above all, there’s this singular design element: the curve. A rare feature in contemporary spaces, here it’s not decorative. It’s structural. It softens the geometry, creates movement, humanizes the space, and gives the place a truly emotional dimension. A house that envelops as much as it impresses.

On the first level, you access a rotunda landing, a veritable interior balcony, overlooking the living room. The black steel railing emphasizes the modern-industrial, almost loft-like feel, while maintaining the elegance of a house. This level provides access to two very bright bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet.
On the upper floor, the house continues to be logical and adaptable: a third bedroom, a fourth space currently designed as a dressing room (or storage room), but which can become, depending on your needs: an office, a nursery, a reading nook, or a workshop.
A second bathroom and a second toilet complete this level. Hidden from view, a south-facing terrace of approximately 30 sqm naturally extends the living space. A true urban luxury: sunbathing, al fresco dining, entertaining, reading, simply living.

And because a well-designed home anticipates everything: a basement of approximately 30 sqm. Laundry room, wine cellar, storage, warehousing? This basement is what we call “invisible comfort”: essential for everyday life, especially when everything is optimized for living space.

Saint-Maur needs no introduction: safety, quality of life, schools, dynamism. Here, the location does more than just promise: it delivers. The banks of the Marne River are within easy reach: sports, walks, a resort-like atmosphere all year round.

The Créteil-Saint-Maur RER station is a 9-minute walk away, allowing you to reach Paris in about 15 minutes. A compelling argument, especially for those hesitating between city and suburbs: here, you have peace and quiet without sacrificing the Parisian pace.

This house is the perfect blend that many seek but can’t find: the loft feel, the comfort of a home, and architectural style. It offers the advantages of one without the drawbacks of the other.

A smart, aesthetically pleasing, and truly unique property. Saint-Maur-Créteil RER station: 9-minute walk. Shops: 5-minute walk. Schools: 5-8 minute walk.
