After studying architecture in Lyon and gaining experience across various cities and cultures—including Lyon, Grenoble, Porto Alegre in Brazil, and Paris—Agathe Marimbert has developed a sensitive approach to architecture that focuses on how spaces are used and the lived experience they offer.

She earned her project management certification while working independently at the Chartier Dalix firm in Paris, before joining REV Architecture, a firm specializing in retail and interior design. This marked a turning point in her career: there, she developed a keen interest in projects on a more intimate scale, where detail, materials, and the way people live take center stage.

In 2017, she founded her firm with the aim of developing architecture that is thoughtful and grounded. Each project begins with a careful analysis of the plans and lifestyles involved. For her, understanding how a space will be used is the starting point for any architectural approach; the formal and aesthetic work follows as a fitting, well-considered, and coherent response.

His inspiration draws on everyday life and travel. But it also stems from an academic heritage shaped by mid-20th-century architecture, particularly American architecture. This was a period when structural rigor and spatial thinking went hand in hand, and when architects designed every element of a project, from the building envelope down to the furniture. This holistic approach continues to inspire his practice.

At her firm, Agathe Marimbert develops residential projects with a distinct identity, as well as spaces designed to be the architectural embodiment of a brand’s world.

In ARCHIK, she has found a partner who shares this vision of architecture, where the unique character of a place and the architects’ vision are fully brought to the fore.
