Art Maze

Step into a world of art and design in this incredible lower ground-floor loft-style apartment. While at times dark, this home has been carefully curated by a brilliant architect whose wonderful use of mirrors in the home lend a largeness to it that’s staggering. We love the eclectic blend of paintings and prints that deck the walls and the chic assortment of furnishings that blend to make an effortlessly creative lounge space. We’re especially fond of the chaise-longue that invites lazy relaxation with a glass of bubbly and one of the many books from the shelves, but we’re equally smitten with the wooden dining table that’s all set to host sophisticated soirées. There’s a desk space here too to let your creative side run free, while the bedrooms look suitably fit for an artist in residence. Foodies and fashionistas will love exploring the boutiques and vogue restaurants on Rue de Charonne as well as its farmer's market on Wednesdays and Saturdays just a fourteen-minute walk away, while history lovers will delight in exploring the Père Lachaise Cemetery a twenty-minute walk away. Elsewhere, Place de la Bastille is walkable in twenty-five minutes and the Louvre is just a twenty-minute metro ride away.
