Hôtel Guimard: exterior view

In the years before World War I, Guimard also designed a number of townhouses and blocks of flats. At his own house, 122, Avenue Mozart, Paris, which he built and furnished after marrying the American painter Adeline Oppenheim in 1909, he achieved a synthesis in its furnishings and d�cor, which he was never to surpass. The first-floor plan, with its delightful relationship of two ovals, harks back to the French Rococo tradition.
