Sale: contemporary apartment in Paris
Architecturally, Paris is a conservative city. There are few new construction projects. Contemporary apartments are often old properties renovated by talented architects or decorators.
Contemporary Parisian?
The resolutely contemporary does not exist much in Paris.
Former artist's studio in a quiet area, factory, very atypical, architects have taken over these places to create contemporary and luxurious homes. The exceptional and particularly impressive ceiling height of this type of construction allows decorators to express their creativity. The old/modern contrast is highlighted. The new does not deny the old, on the contrary, partners, they enhance each other, they unite to create a comfortable, beautiful and charming home steeped in history.
Another trend, classic apartments, especially luxury Haussmannian ones brought up to date. The kitchens located at the end of the endless corridor are transported to the old dining room, close to the living room. And sometimes even, the kitchen, which is huge, is open to the living room. Living space is also that of good flesh. The haussmannian, austere, is transformed into a luxurious epicurean.
Many architects and decorators have used their talent in Parisian apartments to transform them into high-end contemporary living spaces:
- Aurore Panier, decorator and architect, specialized in the optimization of spaces
- Pierre-Henri Bouchacourt, architect, creative and influenced by his travels
- Christelle Serres Chabrier, architect and decorator, listening to her customers
- A + B Kasha, decorators specializing in renovations in Saint-Germain-des-Prés

After having had a very disappointing experience with an apartment hunter for a year, given that we live abroad, in February I contacted “Parlez-moi de Paris” and from the first meeting with Susan we were reassured and comforted! And already in June, we signed the bill of sale! She immediately identified our priorities and needs, she has a gift for listening and feeling the other person. Very responsive, always available, calm and very professional, she accompanied us in all the procedures with the notary and even showed us the neighborhood that we did not know at all! A very nice experience!
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Suzan on two common issues and everything went well. She was very involved, available and efficient from start to finish, resulting in a smooth and timely transaction. It is a real pleasure to work with such a serious professional, whom I highly recommend!
