Attention architecture and photography lovers. Released on September 21, 2026 by RVB Books, the book Hallways by Parisian photographer Romain Laprade reveals striking (and captivating) shots taken in various hallways of apartment buildings in Paris. And to say the least, Haussmannian style is nowhere to be found.
Photography of Architecture
French photographer based in Paris, Romain Laprade has developed an eye for everything related to modernist and brutalist architecture from the 1970s. Through his photographs, he reveals the history and style of an almost forgotten era, somewhere between nostalgia and retro. Armed with his camera, he has been exploring for over a decade
a decade the streets of Paris in search of these places rooted in the past, almost imperceptible amid the city's hustle and bustle. The photographer also explores other regions of France, sometimes to wander through the Palais Bulles in Théoule-sur-Mer or Le Corbusier's Radiant City in Marseille. But he also crosses the Atlantic to capture California villas and the colorful buildings of Mexico City. What stands out? A love of beautiful lines and that little vintage touch.Voir cette publication sur Instagram
Hidden treasures in Paris
With his brand new photography book Hallways, Romain Laprade unveils nearly ten years of work, during which he captured genuine hidden treasures in the hallways of Parisian apartment buildings built between the 1960s and 1980s. Always with a keen eye for geometric shapes and retro style, far from Haussmannian aesthetics, featuring geometric compositions, textural play, mosaics, lighting fixtures and sculptural mailboxes. Throughout its 368 pages, you'll immerse yourself in 10 years of obsession with these spaces we walk through every day, yet rarely truly notice.
