From PAREIL

The apartment is located at the very top of a 1970 building on the Jean Jaurès square (also known as La Plaine) in the very heart of Marseille, France.
Before our intervention, the apartment was divided in many small-to-medium rooms all linked by a space consuming hallway. Overall, it felt quite narrow and dark despite its surface, its mind-blowing unobstructed view and the fact that the apartment was through.

We chose to reunite 4 rooms into one big living area. Right from the entrance, the visitor can immediately take a peek at the view to the mountains behind the city. Although the kitchen is open, a bespoke bar made of different shades of wood, separates the space from the dining/ living area.

Thanks to broad french windows which give access to the terrace, natural light fills the apart- ment to its core.

The tilted central wall, which faces the bathroom, hides a big storage block.

At last, the bedrooms both have bespoke closets and large windows facing the sea.
