A place to live reinvented within an iconic architectural work
Discover this exceptional extended G-type duplex located in Le Corbusier's mythical Cité Radieuse, a jewel of modernist architecture classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As soon as you enter the inner street, you will be struck by the unique atmosphere of this living space designed as a 'housing unit' in its own right, a true manifesto of an art of living.
This home has preserved the essence of modernist architecture while boldly reinventing itself. Here, authenticity blends with a contemporary reinterpretation of volumes.
Bathed in light thanks to its majestic wooden bay windows, the living room opens onto a terrace with a panoramic view of the city, while the solid parquet floor reinforces the warmth of the place. The folded sheet metal staircase by Jean Prouvé retains its sculptural role and leads you upstairs with lightness and character.
Upstairs, the configuration has been completely redesigned: the old children's bedrooms have been brought together to give birth to a large master suite with sea view, with a private bathroom and a second large bedroom with dressing room. They have direct access to the large terrace sheltered by the sun visor. A second independent bathroom and the emblematic cabin shower complete the comfort of everyday life.
A laundry room, discreetly integrated into the whole, adds a welcome touch of practicality in this resolutely atypical setting.
The real surprise is revealed in the extension of the mezzanine, transformed into a vast space bathed in light, with spectacular, urban and tree-lined views. This room suspended between heaven and earth can become a bedroom, a reading room, a games room, a creative workshop, a yoga or meditation space as you wish, a place to live to the fullest according to your desires.
The current developments leave room for a possible restoration faithful to the original spirit for lovers of modernist heritage. We support you in this process with our network of specialized craftsmen, experienced in the renovation of Corbusian units, in order to allow you to reveal the full potential of this unique property.
Designed as a 'vertical village', the Cité Radieuse offers its inhabitants an exceptional quality of life with shops, a hotel, a restaurant, a bookshop, as well as a mythical rooftop terrace housing a school, a playground, a paddling pool and the contemporary art centre Mamo designed by Ora Ïto.
A rare property, revisited, between respect for the past and openness to new uses.
