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

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mme Josephine Dumoulin. From the moment I reached out, she was responsive and welcoming. As I’m based in the United States, staying in touch via WhatsApp was very convenient. Ms. Dumoulin was very knowledgeable and double checked key pieces of details to answer my questions. She was also very flexible with me during my last visit, which was a key moment for us to move forward on things. She also has a great network of notaires who have been very professional and helpful. I’ve been very pleased with Ms. Dumoulin’s partnership!
