Located just off rue de la Roquette, this vibrant neighbourhood is not as central but boasts great restaurants and bars, while the nearby rue Keller is popular for its independent shops and artisans. With a uniquely contemporary facade, this home is striking even from outside. Inside, the space is minimally decorated with high-quality pieces, while the stars of the show are undoubtedly the empty spaces that lie within its objects, and the contrasting finishes of the home. A couple with a taste for a more minimal look are guaranteed to feel right at home at The Renegade.

Home truths:
* The bathroom is accessed from the living room, so it's slightly out of the way from the bedroom

* It's a fairly high tech home so expect many buttons and switches
