1 PARIS 5 - latin quarter

2 The Latin Quarter s legendary art of living LA DÉFENSE Jardin du luxembourg eiffel tower the Louvre panthéon Île de la cité notre dame cathedral Hôtel de Ville UNIVERSITÉ PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE Île SAINT-LOUIS Live in the capital s historic centre The 5th arrondissement, opposite the Ile de la Cité, is the quintessence of Paris. With its Roman arena and the remnants of Philippe Auguste s wall, this neighbourhood stands as testament to the city s ancient and medieval past. The Panthéon towers over the place des Grands Hommes and its great university buildings. Students, visitors but also residents play a central role in the life of the Latin Quarter. Although steeped in history, this prestigious neighbourhood is both warm and friendly. Its narrow medieval streets and small shady squares are best discovered on foot. The residence provides the perfect base from which to stroll along the rue de la Contrescarpe, explore the neighbourhood s art-house cinemas, browse the bookstands along the embankments of the Seine, or gaze across the water to Notre Dame. You might equally wish to admire the timeless charm of the Pontoise swimming pool or the Sainte-Geneviève library. Where the boulevard Saint-Germain meets the Seine, the Institut du Monde Arabe stands as a reminder of this historic neighbourhood s resolutely contemporary outlook as it begins a new chapter in its fascinating story.

3 PLACE DE LA CONTRESCARPE L INSTITUT DU MONDE ARABE LE JARDIN DES PLANTES PANTHÉON RUE MOUFFETARD L ILE DE LA CITÉ An exceptional neighbourhood This highly sought-after neighbourhood is home to several prestigious establishments, some of France s best-performing secondary schools (Henri IV, Louis le Grand and Saint-Louis) and two of the capital s most beautiful gardens the Jardin du Luxembourg and the Jardin des Plantes. their produce. At the foot of montagne Sainte-Geneviève, between rue des Écoles and the Seine, 33 Cardinal Lemoine, a residence worthy of these exceptional surroundings, reflects the commissioning company s passion and exacting standards. The neighbourhood has three markets La Mouffe, place Monge and place Maubert renowned for the quality of

4 Brilliant architecture The style of the building, with its many vertical openings, is a reference to one of the traditional features of Parisian architecture. The two top floors have mansard roofs, the same colour as the façade, to echo the movement and tones of the capital s rooftops. The irregular interplay of bow windows, conservatories, balconies which run the length of certain apartments and terraces is one of the building s defining characteristics. The street-level businesses have large glass windows and the entrance, which leads from one side of the building to the other, give the design a sense of airiness. Laëtitia Antonini and Tom Darmon Light by design Fringed by trees lining the rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard, the residence marks a gentle transition between the resolutely contemporary line of 33 Cardinal Lemoine and the buildings adjacent to the Université Pierre-et-Marie-Curie. Natural light is one of the design s essential materials. Available in abundance, it plays a central role in shaping the building s façades. A series of open, transparent spaces extend out from the building, modulating the relationship between the indoor and outdoor areas. This interplay of projections transforms each apartment into a unique space for living. The light that flows into the building is central both to its aesthetic and its uses. Architecture is composed of light and shadow, walls and space Le Corbusier

7 City views Open design Multiple aspects Running west along rue du Cardinal Lemoine, 33 Cardinal Lemoine commands unobstructed views of Paris from its upper floors. Shutters, sloping roofs and metal balconies reflect the influence of the capital s architectural heritage on its highly contemporary design. Visible from the junction of rue des Écoles and rue Monge, a plane has been cut into the prow of the building, flooding it with sunlight from the south and extending the views from its apartments. Its ribbed champagne-coloured aluminium forms contrast with the understated purity of the white polished concrete side walls which reflect the light and the building s surroundings. Situated between rue du Cardinal Lemoine and rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard, this residence enjoys multiple aspects overlooking both roads and/or both interior courtyards. Contrary to traditional Parisian buildings, the residence s airy courtyards are spacious and bask in the silver or golden glow of its railings. Balconies overlook the courtyards, which provide a haven of peace in the centre of the city. The residence benefits from the quiet and calm of its central first-floor courtyard.

8 The art of contemporary living Street to street From the main entrance on rue du Cardinal Lemoine, the porch creates a link with the rue des Fossés Saint-Bernard opposite. Once past the residence s elegant gateway, this path, which crosses from street to street, is paved in the traditional manner of Parisian thoroughfares and is discreetly lit by recessed floor lighting in the evening. It extends across one of the two courtyards providing access to the entrance hall and apartments. House with private garden behind a finely-wrought fence Private townhouse Opposite the entrance hall, a gateway set into elegantly worked railings opens to reveal a house the ultimate luxury in Paris with its own private garden. This two-storey residence benefits from a spacious living room with high ceilings and three bedrooms, two of which are situated on the upper floor. Residents enter through the privacy of their own garden.

11 Luxurious interiors A personal vision Most of the apartments, from studios to five-room residences, extend out towards the exterior. These additional private spaces balconies, bow windows and terraces allow residents another, more personal vision of city life. On the second floor, the living rooms open out onto balconies, while from the fifth floor, terraces set back from the road invite residents to relax as they contemplate the city life. Ideal for the summer months, these spacious outdoor areas are an extreme rarity in central Paris. Residences to suit every desire and every lifestyle The interior design reflects the residence s prestigious neighbourhood. As one would expect from a building of this standing, the furnishings have been selected with the utmost care. Each detail has its own discreet charm, such as the solid oak parquet flooring in the living areas and sliding lacquered-glass cupboard doors. Bathroom tiles come in a selection of ten hues. Equipped with a swing door, showers feature glass partitions to optimise space. The quality mixer taps enjoy exquisite designs. Drawered sink units feature one or two washbasins. And no refined interior would be complete without a heated towel rail, of course. Amenities are completed by lower-ground cellars and a bicycle storage area accessible from the porch. External entrances are equipped with a dual entry system composed of a visiophone and door entry pad. The reinforced individual entrance doors have 5-point security locks. Cars enter both underground car park levels on rue du Cardinal Lemoine and exit via rue des Fossé Saint-Bernard.
