Full Description
Located on the 5th inner street, on one of the most sought-after floors of the Cité Radieuse, this superb Type E apartment embodies with rare authenticity the original spirit envisioned by Le Corbusier. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a property on a high floor, benefiting from spectacular volumes, remarkable brightness, and a privileged relationship with the Mediterranean landscape. From the entrance, the character of the place is evident. The apartment has preserved numerous original elements, which have become iconic pieces of modernist architecture and are highly sought after today. The double height of the living room creates a striking effect of volume and breathing space. It enhances natural light, reinforces the sensation of space, and gives the living area an almost theatrical dimension, where the interior and exterior are in constant dialogue. The kitchen designed by Charlotte Perriand, perfectly preserved, serves as a centerpiece of the home. Both functional, graphic, and timeless, it fully embodies Corbusian vision of a habitat designed for everyday life. The iconic staircase by Jean Prouvé, a true functional sculpture, elegantly structures the volumes and naturally facilitates circulation between the levels. On the upper floor, the master bedroom retains its original layout, including the integrated changing table, a rare testament to the attention given to family life. The built-in storage, designed as integral elements of the architecture, has been preserved, just like the iconic shower cabin, a symbol of the design of the Cité Radieuse. The children's rooms, intelligently organized, are separated by a retractable black partition, allowing for the modulation of space as needed. They open onto a terrace offering a sea view, naturally extending the sleeping areas outdoors and reinforcing the connection with the Mediterranean landscape. This property offers a faithful and rare interpretation of Le Corbusier's project, in remarkable condition, within a building classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A unique apartment, both a piece of inhabited architecture, an inspiring living space, and a prime heritage investment, at the heart of an icon of the 20th century.
