Inside a Parisian Haussmann Apartment Transformed into an Art-Filled Sanctuary

A Designer’s Dual Passion

Interior designer Allen Kirsch has masterfully blended his sophisticated interior sensibility with his own large-format contemporary paintings in his Parisian pied-à-terre. Located near Les Invalides and the Rodin Museum, this apartment is a rare example of a Haussmann-style space that has remained unmodified since 1860.

Preserving Parisian Character

Kirsch was determined to maintain the apartment’s authentic Parisian character, despite his own artistic style, which features abstract expressionist paintings full of tension and complementary colors. The building itself is unique, with only one apartment on each of its six floors, each featuring a living room, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms, and a bathroom.

A Peaceful Home for Entertaining

Kirsch envisioned this space as a peaceful home where he could entertain, creating a harmonious environment that showcases his XXL art while respecting the historical integrity of the architecture. The result is a stunning blend of old-world charm and modern artistic expression.
