Claire grew up in the prestigious Wimbledon district, just a stone’s throw from the All-England Club, and from an early age was involved in the world of design, architecture and decoration.

After studying literature in Bristol, she began her professional career in an interior design boutique (Osborne & Litttle). After a stint in a design agency, she worked alongside James Dyson, founder of the eponymous company, and his wife Deidre, assisting in the launch and design of some of their now iconic products in the greatest secrecy. At the same time, she will be exhibiting with Swarovski at Maison&Objet.

On the strength of these rich experiences, she and her husband Alexender decided to try a new adventure by opening a guest house in France on the banks of a Landes lake. For this assertive city dweller, it was a new challenge that offered her a wonderful experience during which she gave birth to her two boys.

When she decided to settle on the Bassin d’Arcachon, she brought all her experience and her taste for beautiful things to the renovation of several houses alongside Alex, and it was with him that she joined the ARCHIK team and put her sharp sense of listening at her customers’ disposal.
