1. Immeuble de rapport Kodak / Kodak Apartment Building Marker
Cet immeuble de 1930 appartenait à l’entrepreneur Lucien Gillet et accueillait en rez-de-chaussée une boutique Kodaks-Pathé.
Premier immeuble à Reims doté d’un ascenseur, il se distingue par sa hauteur : cinq étages, surmontés par deux niveaux en gradins et couronnés par un belvédère d’angle.
Dans l’esprit du Mouvement Moderne, il se singularise par sa géométrie épurée, que l’on trouve dans les ferronneries, volumes et jeux de matériaux, notamment dans l’alternance d’oriels en béton et de remplissages en brique.

Reims’ first building to have a lift, it was distinguished by its height of five floors topped by two stepped terraces and crowned with a panoramic corner viewpoint.
In the spirit of the Modernist movement, it is characterised by its refined geometry that can be found in the ironwork, the volumes and the interplay of the materials, particularly in the alternating concrete oriel windows and brick filling.

Das erste Gebäude in Reims mit einem Aufzug zeichnet sich durch seine Höhe aus: fünf Stockwerke, die von zwei gestuften Terrassen überragt und von einem Eckbalkon gekrönt werden.
Im Geiste der Moderne zeichnet es sich durch seine verfeinerte Geometrie aus, die in der Schmiedekunst, dem Umfang und den Materialspielen, vor allem der Wechsel von Betonerker und Ziegelfüllungen, zu finden ist.
