Where red brick whispers tales of ingenuity, we find ourselves at Square Dufourmantelle. Built between 1930 and 1934, Square Dufourmantelle stands as a testament to visionary architecture and social progress. This housing project, commissioned by the Office Public d’HBM, was designed by architects André Dubreuil and Roger Hummel. The square’s design, reminiscent of Vienna’s Karl-Marx-Hof, features 600 social housing units elegantly arranged around a central landscaped square and four main courtyards. Notice the charming red brickwork. It reflects the architectural trends of the time, drawing inspiration from the grandeur of Vienna’s early 20th-century buildings. As you stroll through the square, observe the details that make this place unique. The use of brick, the interplay of light and shadow in the vaulted passages, and the playful inclusion of a Little Red Riding Hood statue create a captivating atmosphere. Square Dufourmantelle stands today as a testament to the innovative spirit of its creators. It’s a place where architectural grandeur meets social purpose. A true hidden gem of Paris!
