119 OBERKAMPF
Inspired by reflections on the evolution of this historic Parisian neighborhood, 119 Rue Oberkampf pays homage to its artisanal and industrial past while embracing the modern spirit of Paris’s young and cosmopolitan 11th arrondissement.
The village-like atmosphere of Rue Oberkampf, on the edge of the Marais, echoes a rich history of craftsmanship that for two centuries shaped the identity of a suburb dominated by metalworking workshops. This history lives on today in the contemporary character of a neighborhood that symbolizes the vibrancy and warmth of eastern Paris. This atmosphere is expressed through the harmonious blend of independent shops, art galleries, restaurants, hidden courtyards, and private courtyards that invite visitors to celebrate and stroll at their leisure, all under the banner of creativity.

The history and spirit of the neighborhood inspired the transformation of the building at 119 Rue Oberkampf. Rising six stories high, the facade stands out for its Art Deco style, brought to life by steel window and door frames that celebrate the energy and modernity of industrial design. At the heart of the building, a myriad of contemporary lofts embody this overarching vision of the neighborhood’s evolution. The open spaces and generous volumes evoke the factories of days gone by, while the quality of the finishes, the emphasis on light, and the seamless connection between interior and exterior bring the site’s history into harmony with the demands of modern comfort and sustainable urban living. On the courtyard side, gardens extend from two townhouses warmly clad in wood: an oasis of serenity bordered by the creative bustle of the city.
