On the first floor of a 19th-century Haussmannian building in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, this 135sqm apartment unfolds through broad French doors and bespoke cabinetry. Renovated in 2024 by Thomas Fournier, founder of CONCINA, in collaboration with the current owners, the project brings contemporary precision to a framework defined by historic volumes and preserved detail.

An entrance gallery establishes the tone. Botticino marble and blue stone cabochon floors are mirrored by full-height glass that amplifies both scale and intimacy. Walls finished in muted tones by Mériguet-Carrère introduce a controlled chiaroscuro. Double doors open to an east-facing living room, where large windows, a period marble fireplace with trumeau, retained mouldings and solid parquet laid in point de Hongrie articulate the apartment’s original character.

These elements continue into the dining room, marked by a red Caunes-Minervois marble fireplace and a plan that maintains visual connection with the gallery. The kitchen sits apart, resolved as a quieter space, combining Bordeaux-toned cabinetry with brass mesh doors, a Brazilian quartzite worktop and a bespoke Officine Gullo range, supported by a concealed pantry and laundry.

The corner primary suite draws light from the east and south, with integrated storage, an oak and straw-cannage dressing room and an en-suite bathroom finished in Botticino and Vert du Gange marble, Murano wall lights and English-style fittings. Two further bedrooms occupy a more private wing, sharing a bathroom finished in Botticino and Emperador marble. A cellar and resident caretaker complete the apartment, listed for €1.59 million in Paris’s Lariboisière district.
