“Imagine living in a building designed to look like stacked houses!” The Rue Erard, named after a renowned musical instrument maker, is more than just a street. This street in the 12th arrondissement of Paris holds a unique charm, particularly due to its unusual architectural landmark. Constructed in 1962, the three interconnected towers at 11-19 Rue Erard are a sight to behold. The architects, Mario Heymann, Roger Anger, and Pierre Puccinelli, envisioned a new form of apartment living. They wanted to create a sense of individuality within a collective dwelling, resulting in these intriguingly stacked structures. The towers offer a glimpse into a different perspective on urban living, a testament to architectural ingenuity in the heart of Paris.
