Art Deco and minimalism fuse inside this Parisian duplex by interior designer Hélène Van Marcke which is surprisingly serene despite being a stone’s throw from the bustle of the Champs Élysées.

The Paris property is on the market via Espaces Atypique for €8.5m and sits on the top two floors of a Haussman-style stone building, off the popular street. The apartment has views of the Eiffel Tower, Sacré Coeur and Arc de Triomphe.

A swooping sculptural staircase harks to an Art Deco aesthetic and connects the two levels. Exterior and structural walls are a soft white, steel-framed glass doors and partitions have been installed to divide the space while diffusing light through the interior.

Herringbone oak parquet floors, pale wooden furniture and light marble surfaces and fireplaces hone a soothing, minimalist aesthetic which continues through its four bedrooms.

Industrial volumes pack a punch inside this Parisian live/work loft
