Lofts and artist’s studios: the cultural approach to real estate

Real Estate & Art de Vivre

27/05/2020

As a response to increasing demand for atypical properties, lofts and artist’s studios are presented as part of a cultural-based approach.

Combining the functions of housing and a working space for painters, sculptors and artisans, only a limited number of lofts and artist’s studios are available for sale in the Île-de-France region. Principally located within the city itself, on an upper floor of an old building to guarantee maximum light, these convivial venues open their doors to private individuals for temporary exhibitions that showcase their residents’ production as well as their historical heritage. Private viewings are by appointment only...

Architectural redesign of a building dating from 1913 (75015)

Observe without being seen - that is the advantage of these spacious ‘apartments’, though the designation does them little justice given their adaptability. More often than not perched on the top floors, their only neighbours are the sky and the stars, like here in the Motte-Piquet neighbourhood.

A room fitted out as a walk-in wardrobe

Situated on the 6th floor with lift access, it enjoys peace and quiet, with its 872 sq ft incorporating a vast sitting room with a glazed wall and a fireplace, 1 bedroom, 1 shower room, an equipped kitchen, a bookcase and a cellar. And the icing on the cake? A balcony overlooking the Eiffel Tower.

Bohemian life on the Left Bank, in Montparnasse (75015)

Looking for an immense artist’s studio, in a townhouse? You’ll only find one in this literary and bohemian neighbourhood of Paris, in the shadow of the Tour Montparnasse. Moreover, on a charming little private road, far from the surrounding hustle and bustle.

A space that can be adjusted to suit you

This exclusive property spans 3,197 sq ft on 3 levels. Its two independent entrances open onto a 1,615 sq ft sitting room, 5 other rooms, 2 bathrooms and an open kitchen. An atypical and light-filled ensemble that makes for a sumptuous family property.
