A unique living space, blending industrial architecture with a studio-like atmosphere

IN ARGENTEUIL, JUST OUTSIDE PARIS, DISCOVER AN UNUSUAL, EXCEPTIONALLY BRIGHT 161.68 M² CARREZ DUPLEX LOCATED IN A FORMER INDUSTRIAL-STYLE BUILDING COMPLEX, NOW KNOWN AS “LE QU4TRE.”

Behind its understated architecture lies an original living space, reminiscent of a single-family home, in a quiet setting characterized by generous proportions, a large glass roof, a mezzanine, and an interior layout that breaks free from traditional apartment conventions.

The property charms with its artist’s studio atmosphere, its architectural character, and the numerous possibilities offered by its various spaces.

A SPECTACULAR LIVING ROOM OF OVER 76 M2

On the first floor, a spacious, light-filled room measuring 76.53 m² (Carrez) houses the living room, dining room, and an OPEN KITCHEN.

THE GLASS ROOF is one of the property’s major architectural features. It provides ABUNDANT NATURAL LIGHT and gives the entire space a unique character, in the spirit of renovated historic workshops.

The spacious layout allows for the creation of different areas without partitioning them off: a cozy living room, a large dining table, a reading nook, or a workspace.

A WOOD-BURNING STOVE enhances the warm atmosphere of this room, whose aesthetic blends industrial character with understated, contemporary comfort.

AN OPEN MEZZANINE OVERLOOKING THE LIVING AREA

Overlooking the living area, the mezzanine—used as a bedroom and open to the starry sky—covers 14.40 m² Carrez, with a floor area of 19.24 m².

It can accommodate an office, a library, a relaxation area, or a bedroom, with the option to partition off this space according to the needs of its future occupants.

Its openness to the main room accentuates the sense of space and contributes to the loft’s architectural character.

In the SOUPLEX, a SPACIOUS 55-SQUARE-METER ROOM—a truly versatile space that can be used AS A BEDROOM OR A WORKSPACE—featuring a 2.50-meter-wide floor-to-ceiling window opening onto the outdoors, secured by a roller shutter.

Its dimensions make it suitable for a large bedroom, a suite with a workspace, a creative studio, or a multifunctional room.

The garden level also includes a shower room, a walk-in closet, a half-bath, and a custom-made metal staircase connecting to the various levels.

This layout provides true separation between the entertaining areas and the more private spaces.

A 15-square-meter PRIVATE COURTYARD: this outdoor space is a valuable asset, extending the duplex onto the garden level for private cocktail parties in a quiet setting, completely out of sight of neighbors.
Sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city, this outdoor area is perfect for creating a relaxation space, a garden lounge, a small garden, or a welcoming spot for sunny days—all completely secluded from prying eyes.

The courtyard adds an extra sense of openness to this apartment, whose interior layout is already particularly spacious.

AN 11-SQUARE-METER BASEMENT rounds out the property.

A place shaped by its industrial past

The loft is part of a complex whose architecture reflects Argenteuil’s industrial and railroad heritage.

The site is a former building associated with the SNCF’s supply depot.
This industrial heritage contributes to the identity of the place, which has retained its industrial character and is now imbued with a creative spirit, with many of its units occupied by artists. The conversion of industrial buildings into residential spaces has made it possible to preserve sought-after architectural features: generous volumes, large windows, bold structures, and flexibility in layout.

The result is a unique living environment that prioritizes space and light over the traditional layout of apartments.

ARGENTEUIL, A CITY OF HISTORY AND CONTRASTS ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PARIS

Located in the Val-d’Oise department, on the banks of the Seine, Argenteuil boasts a particularly rich history.

Long associated with viticulture, agriculture, and river-based activities, the city underwent significant industrial development with the rise of the railroad and its proximity to Paris.

Argenteuil also holds a prominent place in the history of Impressionism. Claude Monet lived there and painted several major works, immortalizing the landscapes of the Seine, the gardens, and the town’s transformations during the 19th century.

Today, Argenteuil combines this heritage with a vibrant urban lifestyle, shops, schools, sports and cultural facilities, and a wide range of services.

The Argenteuil train station, served by Transilien Line J, provides direct access to Paris-Saint-Lazare, among other destinations.

This location may appeal to buyers seeking a spacious home near Paris without sacrificing unique architectural features.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE AND POTENTIAL FOR IMPROVEMENT

The energy performance assessment currently classifies the property as CATEGORY F, with a conventional energy consumption of 374 kWh/m²/year and greenhouse gas emissions of 62 kg CO₂/m²/year.
Heat loss is largely attributable to the ORIGINAL GLASS ROOF, which requires RENOVATION to improve comfort.
The cost of this conversion to a high-performance skylight is estimated
at 30,000 euros, including installation.

The heating system runs on natural gas and wood, while domestic hot water is provided by gas.
Converting the heating system to a REVERSIBLE AIR-TO-AIR HEAT PUMP system—which also provides air conditioning—would cost 10,000 euros.

Annual energy costs are estimated at between 4,230 € and 5,800 €.
With the skylight and heating system upgrades, annual costs would be drastically reduced.

SEVERAL MODIFICATIONS can be considered to improve thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption:

- Reinforcing the interior wall insulation and improving the skylight insulation.
- Improving the thermal performance of doors and windows while preserving the existing architecture.
- Modernizing the heating control system.
- Conducting a feasibility study for an air-to-water heat pump to provide heating and domestic hot water.

These improvements would result in a two-grade improvement in the energy performance rating.
