Hôtel Guimard is an Art Nouveau town house in Paris, France, designed by architect Hector Guimard for use as his home. It is considered one of the best surviving examples of his mature style.[1] The house is located at 122 Avenue Mozart in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.
History[edit]
Hôtel Guimard was built between 1909 and 1912, and from 1913 onwards housed both Guimard's practice and his wife Adeline Oppenheim Guimard's studio, as well as their living quarters. After the architect's death in the 1940s, his wife offered the house and its contents to the French state. Her offer was refused, however, and the fittings—all designed by Hector specifically for the house—have been scattered. The dining room suite can today be seen at the Petit Palais.[2]
