Designed by Kengo Kuma, the iconic fashion designer Kenzo Takada’s beautiful Japanese-style property in Paris is now marketed by Christie’s International Real Estate
Known for his vibrant floral patterns and his masterful blend of cross-cultural influences, the Japan-born, Paris-based fashion icon Kenzo Takada left behind a remarkable legacy.
Even after his retirement, the trailblazing fashion designer continued his prolific and multifaceted oeuvre through collaborations with designer furniture brands including Roche Bobois, and founded a home and lifestyle brand, K3 in 2020, just months before his sudden passing from Covid-19 complications.
His passion for home design is evident in his Parisian home in this historic Bastille district, which is now on the market with Belles demeures de France, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate.

First completed in 1993 and redesigned in 2018 by notable Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, the Kenzo House is a tranquil refuge that’s constructed around its courtyard that features a Japanese-style koi pond and garden.
Located within the fashionable Left Bank enclave, the cedar-clad abode initially took seven years to complete and blends eastern and western influences in a way that is true to Takada’s eclectic designs.
