Origin and history

The Studio Hôtel building is an iconic building in the 14th arrondissement of Paris, located at 9 rue Delambre. Built during the 2nd quarter of the 20th century, it embodies the modern architecture of this period, with notable artistic elements such as its stained glass windows. The building was listed as historic monuments on 25 October 2001, a recognition that specifically protects its facades, roofs and stained glass windows on the courtyard, testifying to its heritage importance.

Designed by architect Henry Astruc, the building is also distinguished by the collaboration with the painter-glassman Francis Jourdain, whose stained glass windows contribute to its unique character. The protected elements include the original building in its entirety (cadastre AG 74), with special attention to interior and exterior decorations. Although its initial vocation (hotel, studios, or other) is not explicitly detailed in the sources, its style and protection make it a notable example of the Parisian heritage of the 20th century.

The location of the building, in the 14th arrondissement, is located in a neighborhood undergoing urban transformation at the beginning of the 20th century. Paris then enjoyed an architectural boom combining modernity and tradition, with buildings like this one reflecting the technical and aesthetic innovations of the period. The inscription in the title of historical monuments emphasizes its role in collective memory, while preserving an artistic and urban heritage for future generations.
