Atelier d'Architecture Laurent Katz

Cassis is duplex penthouse, part of a Classic Southern France residential building. The penthouse is located on the 3rd and 4th floor of the block, facing the old historic village and the sea. The view is the focus point of the project. For that reason, we opened completely the mezzanine floor and wrapped it with a glass wall. The glass wall allows on one hand to access the view and the other hands acts as an acoustic barrier from the main living-dining space. The high ceiling in the living-dining area allows the narrow space to feel comfortable and spacious. Its direct access to the large terrace strengthens that feeling and gives a “freedom” sensation to the occupant.
