26 rue Vavin, Historical residential building in Quartier Notre-Dame-des-Champs, France.
The seven-story residential structure at 26 rue Vavin features white ceramic tiles across its facade and stepped terraces on each floor.
Architects Henri Sauvage and Charles Sarazin constructed this pioneering residential building between 1912 and 1914 as the first stepped-design structure in Paris.
The building housed an American student club called Saint-Regis on its first floor in 1927, facilitating French cultural experiences for visiting students.
The structure includes commercial spaces on the ground level facing rue Vavin, while the upper floors contain residential apartments with integrated service rooms.
The building received patent protection for its innovative stepped design, which maximized natural light and ventilation for each apartment level.
