Apartment of a pianist - Opéra area

Six floors above the bars, boutiques and theatres of dynamic Opéra - Grands magasins, Rue de Provence has the feel of a musician's hangout. The front door opens into a hallway with a small cloakroom straight ahead, next to which is the entrance to the kitchen. Past its matte-black cupboards and porthole window you'll find the entrance to the master bedroom on the right. Here, there are painted timber rafters over a glossy wood-framed bed with boldly striped wallpaper at its head, and beyond the wall-mounted television there's a sleek ensuite shower room.

Back in the kitchen, another doorway takes you to this home's sitting room, a dramatic red, black and white-painted space. A piano and a table for two are by the window, and a cream sofabed sits under a projector and a long line of well-stocked bookshelves.
