Marianne Tiegen reimagines a 17th-century Parisian landmark: A harmonious blend of heritage and modernity at Place des Vosges
In the heart of the Marais district, overlooking the historic Place des Vosges, Marianne Tiegen unveils a stunning residential project that is a meticulous restoration of an apartment within a 17th-century Heritage Landmark Building originally commissioned by King Henry IV. Under the vigilant oversight of the French Historical Heritage Architects department, Tiegen preserved the apartment's original volumes and detailing, honoring its storied past while introducing a contemporary narrative.
Despite its central location in bustling Paris, the apartment offers a serene retreat, a space where time seems to stand still. "Being here transcends time... beauty lies not in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadow cast," Tiegen reflects.
