From the Agent: "This flat is located in a former 19th-century washhouse that was renovated in 1983 by architect Bernard Kohn, a disciple of Louis Kahn, to create housing in the heart of Paris. The ground floor comprises a spacious living room with high ceilings, lit by Zenith windows that frame the sky and the vegetation of the interior garden and open onto an exterior terrace. A wooden staircase leads up to a mezzanine platform that has been converted into a library, the circular shape of which is reminiscent of the deck of a ship. It then leads to the first floor, where the light-filled landing leads to a kitchen bathed in natural light thanks to its large glass roof, a small lounge, and a bedroom with built-in wooden cupboards and an en suite bathroom."
Architect Bernard Kohn created a series of apartments within the former washhouse. Footbridges link the various buildings together.
The apartment currently for sale spans two levels.
Exposed wooden beams infuse the living area with a sense of warmth.
Wooden accents continue in the upstairs bedroom.
"Residents of the building benefit from the areas shared by all co-owners: a large common room, a laundry room, a garden, and a number of terraces," notes the agent.
This apartment in Paris, France, is currently listed for 1,040,000 € (approximately $1,145,955 USD) by Architecture de Collection.
