Architect Loft in Hidden Courtyard | Paris 11th

The space

This exceptional loft has been entirely designed by its architect owner, creating a truly unique property where every detail, material, and perspective has been carefully curated.

Hidden away at the back of a magnificent tree-filled cobblestone courtyard, the apartment immediately feels disconnected from the city’s energy while remaining in the heart of one of Paris’ most vibrant neighborhoods.

The loft develops approximately 60 sqm over several split levels, creating a striking architectural experience with beautiful volumes and constantly evolving perspectives.

One of the apartment’s most remarkable features is its spectacular custom glass façade overlooking the verdant courtyard, flooding the interiors with natural light and creating a rare indoor-outdoor atmosphere seldom found in Paris.

The main living area combines contemporary architecture, bespoke millwork, designer furnishings, curated lighting, and carefully selected decorative pieces, creating a sophisticated yet deeply warm atmosphere.

The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed for both short and extended stays, along with a comfortable dining area ideal for enjoying meals in the calm and unique setting of the loft.

The apartment accommodates up to 2 guests.

The sleeping area is located upstairs and features a queen-size bed within a beautifully designed mezzanine-style space.

Please note that the upstairs area features a ceiling height of approximately 2 meters (6’6”) and may feel less comfortable for taller guests.

The bathroom features a walk-in shower (6’6”) and toilet within a compact yet highly optimized designer space.

The loft also includes several interior staircases and split-level sections: stairs leading to the sleeping area and bathroom
additional steps leading to the kitchen and laundry area

For this reason, the property is unfortunately not suitable for guests with reduced mobility, babies, toddlers, or young children.

A mobile air-conditioning unit is available during warmer months in the living area and a portable air cooler is available in the bedroom.

You will particularly appreciate the unique architectural identity of the loft, the exceptional calmness of the courtyard, the natural light throughout the day, and the rare feeling of staying in a hidden contemporary retreat in central Paris.

This is not a standard Parisian apartment, but rather a truly distinctive hospitality experience designed for travelers seeking something rare and memorable.

Upon arrival, everything will be prepared for your stay, including fresh bed linens, towels, and complimentary welcome amenities from the French luxury skincare brand NUXE Paris.

A detailed welcome guide will also be provided, containing all essential information about the apartment (safety instructions, equipment, and neighborhood recommendations) to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay.

To ensure the best possible experience, please note:

• The apartment is located within a primary residence environment and contains some personal belongings.

• The property includes several staircases and split-level spaces throughout the loft.

• The upstairs sleeping area has reduced ceiling height and may not be suitable for taller guests.
