Character duplex on the top floor, balconies with open sky views over the roofs of Marseille Just steps from the Vieux-Port, this 110 m² duplex occupies the fifth and top floor with elevator of a distinctive Haussmannian building. Blending historic architecture with contemporary design, this space offers a unique perspective on Marseille life, featuring open volumes overlooking the city’s rooftops and several elevated outdoor areas.
The entrance opens into a generous living area where the lounge, dining room, and open contemporary kitchen (with pantry) flow together in one space. Large openings naturally extend the area onto a long balcony, offering unobstructed views of Marseille’s rooftops and the silhouette of Saint-Cannat Church. The lack of direct neighbors enhances the feeling of space and light. An old fireplace, now fitted with an ethanol burner, adds a warm presence to the room. Reversible air conditioning completes the comfort of this apartment designed for modern living.
Upstairs, two bedrooms are arranged around a large bathroom and a laundry room. The master suite benefits from two large balconies that extend the façade, creating true open-air spaces. This rare extension in the city center offers a particularly calm atmosphere. The second bedroom, located on a mezzanine, provides a freer and more contemporary interpretation of the sleeping area.
The renovation combines the nobility of original elements with modern comfort requirements. The proportions, light, materials, and perspectives create an atmosphere that is both warm and refined. On the top floor, this duplex layout offers the sensation of a house suspended above the city, with the outdoor spaces serving as a link between interior and sky.
The location allows for a fully urban lifestyle. The Vieux-Port, the Opera, shops, restaurants, cultural venues, and the quays are all within walking distance. In this central area, the top floor offers an unexpected breath of fresh air: an elevated apartment, protected from urban bustle and open to the lines of the Marseille landscape.
