Duplex loft with private garden in the heart of the city

Hidden from view at the back of a private condominium, this 133 sq m (1,430 sq ft) apartment boasts a bold architectural style, reminiscent of former workshops, where the structure is expressed directly.

From the moment you enter, a spacious and imposing 20 sq m (215 sq ft) entrance sets the tone : generous proportions, clean lines, and abundant natural light. The kitchen, set back behind workshop-style glass partitions, makes a strong graphic statement while maintaining its independence.

Extending from the kitchen, the 29 sq m (312 sq ft) living area flows seamlessly into a private garden, bringing an unexpected touch of greenery to this urban setting. A separate powder room completes the amenities on this level.

The staircase, a simple yet elegant combination of metal and wood, leads to the upper floor. Beneath a striking skylight, natural light sculpts the space and reveals the exposed metal framework, a defining characteristic of the building.

An open 18 sq m hallway leads to three spaces partitioned by glass walls – 16 sq m, 13 sq m, and 9 sq m – whose modularity allows for multiple configurations, as well as a shower room with toilet.

Together, they create a structured yet adaptable open-plan space, ideal for an ambitious residential redesign. The industrial aesthetic, fully embraced here, is neither a mere effect nor a pastiche: it is integral to the space, in the interplay between raw materials, the transparency of the partitions, and the generous ceiling heights.

Currently used as office space, this property requires a change of use for conversion into a residence, offering a rare opportunity to create a unique living space befitting a demanding architectural project.

The neighborhood offers convenient everyday living: shops, services, and the vibrant atmosphere of the town center are all within a few minutes’ walk. Transport links are particularly advantageous, with the RER B commuter rail line providing quick access and direct access to the heart of Paris.

By the end of 2026, the opening of Line 15 of the Grand Paris Express will further enhance the area’s appeal, integrating Cachan into a metropolitan-scale circular mobility network.

A city undergoing significant development, Cachan cultivates a delicate balance between a residential atmosphere and urban dynamism. Prized for its higher education institutions, green spaces, and immediate proximity to the capital, it attracts residents seeking a more peaceful lifestyle without sacrificing the advantages of Paris.
