6 rue de Hanovre, 2d arrondissement
Built by architect Adolphe Bocage (1860-1927) in 1908
The entry hall contains a large horseshoe staircase. The concrete walls of the building structure are covered with marine inspired motifs such as waves, octopuses and star fish molded on so-called 'Grès de Bigot' (Bigot developed a special ceramics which was used to decorate and protect concrete at a period when one was not sure of its sealing properties).
Adolphe Bocage also represented the Parisian architects society at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893
