1 – Apartment for 2 in a building by Ferdinand Pouillon
M2 is a unique duplex nestled in the emblematic Panier district, just a 5-minute walk from Marseille’s Old Port and right next to the Mucem.
This former workshop, located on the first floor of a legendary building designed by architect Fernand Pouillon in 1948 and listed as a 20th-century heritage site, bears witness to the post-war renaissance of the Old Port. Reinventing and reinterpreting Mediterranean tradition, Pouillon used stone as an industrial material, creating decorative elements in keeping with tradition.
Inside the building, which was once an architectural studio, the space is ingeniously designed to make the most of its two levels, offering a true immersion in the spirit of the neighborhood.
The interior is enriched by a collection of works, including ceramics, accompanied by contemporary designer furniture, paying tribute to the building’s creator.
