Windows & Balconies of Paris...Rue Crozatier a street of contrasts.

Haussmann façades find themselves mirrored in the glass of a contemporary office building.

In the 12th arrondissement, history and modernity meet on Rue Crozatier, where Haussmann façades find themselves mirrored in the glass of a contemporary office building.  The reflection feels almost deliberate, a quiet conversation between eras. The pediment floats in its new frame of blue glass and autumn leaves soften the edges, a Parisian dialogue between old stone and new sheen.

As you walk the street the contrast become more evident.


“Somehow, Paris always manages to be beautiful, even when it’s just quietly being itself.”
