Atelier Carpeaux, Art Nouveau building in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France

The Atelier Carpeaux features a symmetrical facade with two levels of cut stone and a second floor decorated with eight blue-framed windows surrounded by red bricks.

In 1895, architect Hector Guimard renovated the building, adding sculptures to the facade and creating a space dedicated to sculptor Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux's memory.

The building represents the architectural transition period of the late 19th century, combining traditional stone construction with Art Nouveau design elements.

Located at 39 Boulevard Exelmans, the building is accessible via the Paris Metro Line 9, with the nearest station being Exelmans.

The facade bears Hector Guimard's signature on the upper right section of the ground floor, marking his early work before his Paris Metro entrances.
