"Interior designer Allen Kirsch's home is in a small Parisian building located near Les Invalides and the Rodin Museum. The Haussmann style apartment was built at the peak of the architectural mode's popularity. There have been no modifications to the space since 1860, making it a rarity. "There's only one apartment on each of the building's six floors, and each has a living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom," says Kirsch, who also creates large abstract expressionist paintings."
""My first and only visit before I purchased the apartment took place early in the morning. It was bathed in September light streaming through the windows, and I was able to admire the cornices, which were impeccable. I knew it was the perfect place for me." As an artist, Kirsch needed large walls to display his oversized works. This apartment offered everything he wanted."
Allen Kirsch's pied-à-terre sits in a small Parisian building near Les Invalides and the Rodin Museum. The Haussmann-style apartment was built at the movement's peak and remains unmodified since 1860, making it rare. Each of the building's six floors contains a single apartment with a living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Kirsch, an interior designer and abstract expressionist painter, prized the impeccable cornices and large walls for his oversized work. He preserved the Parisian character while making modest updates: removing a living/dining partition, creating a dressing room and an office, adding a marble bathroom, discreet double glazing and air-conditioning.
