Born in Marseille, Malo spent many years working for large organizations as a sales representative for technical products in demanding, structured, and sometimes complex environments—but these never fully satisfied her deep curiosity.

More of a jack-of-all-trades than someone with a single passion, Malo has always cultivated an interest in various forms of expression: photography, painting, and fashion—with a particular fondness for Paul Poiret’s boldness and Yves Saint Laurent’s elegance. She is drawn to strong personalities, distinctive worlds, and unique life paths. Sports and travel have shaped her character and her perspective.

They lead her off the beaten path and nurture her appreciation for authenticity and the rough edges of things and people.

It is in the heart of Réunion Island that she embarks on a wild project: creating a hotel that reflects who she is—the MOMA—with a deep joy in imagining and offering a place where people feel comfortable, welcome, and at home.

Back in Marseille, she rediscovered what she had always been drawn to: diversity, warmth, a sense of community, and lived-in spaces. And it was at ARCHIK that she realized something that felt obvious: creating spaces that respect each person’s uniqueness—places with character where people can truly thrive.

Originally from the Dominican Republic, Nathalie has always exuded an infectious energy and a zest for life that leave a lasting impression from the very first interaction. After spending more than ten years in Paris working in communications, advertising, and digital marketing, she chose to settle permanently in Marseille with her family, drawn by the city’s light, its pace of life, and its unique energy.

Authentic and sociable, Nathalie loves above all meeting people and learning about the life stories behind each project. Her curiosity and keen ability to listen and provide support naturally led her to real estate. She has developed a modern, people-oriented, and creative approach to her work, maintaining a direct connection with her clients.

 

Sensitive to her surroundings, she pays particular attention to details that stand the test of time: the light at the end of the day, weathered materials, and the fluid flow between spaces. Her perspective, shaped by her creative journey, blends aesthetics, imagery, and storytelling. She enjoys revealing a property’s potential, envisioning transformations, and helping each person imagine themselves in a space that reflects who they are.

ARCHIK’s cross-disciplinary approach seemed like a natural fit to her: and it is from Marseille’s 8th arrondissement—where she lives and which she is particularly fond of—that she provides her clients with tailored guidance.

Location Scouting & Rentals

Originally from Eastern Europe, Nina has shaped her career through professional and personal experiences in Bordeaux, Bratislava, Vienna, New York, and Paris. Curious about the world and attuned to different atmospheres, she broadened her perspective during a year of travel through Latin America, exploring other ways of inhabiting space and thinking about our relationship to place.

Guided by a sensitivity to places and the stories they hold, she decided to pursue training in real estate appraisal and finance. She views real estate as a convergence of architecture, space, and life journeys, and has developed an approach rooted in active listening, intuition, and an understanding of how spaces are used. As a Slavic woman, she has developed a particular interest in functionalism, appreciating the simplicity of forms and architecture designed first and foremost for practical use.

She prefers Mies van der Rohe and Charlotte Perriand—the former for his work on proportions, the latter for her vision of a living space in constant dialogue with people and nature. She also has a particular interest in Czechoslovakian furniture designers, notably Jindřich Halabala and Jiří Jiroutek, whose functional elegance and timeless forms she admires.

Joining ARCHIK is a natural fit for her approach: the convergence of architecture, design, and personalized support, all dedicated to creating distinctive properties and unique life projects. She brings her interpersonal skills, meticulousness, and architectural sensibility to support each client with precision and dedication.

En contrebas, un vaste garage, une buanderie, un hammam ainsi qu’un espace indépendant composé d’un salon, d’une chambre, d’une salle d’eau et de sa terrasse privative permettent d’envisager une maison d’amis, un espace professionnel ou une parfaite autonomie pour recevoir famille et invités.

À l’extérieur, le jardin en restanques accueille un agréable potager qui apporte une respiration végétale à cette architecture minérale.

Édifiée entre 1947 et 1952 par Charles Édouard Jeanneret dit Le Corbusier, La Cité Radieuse située dans le 8ème arrondissement de Marseille concrétise le projet d’un « village vertical » appelé « Unité d’Habitation ».

Cette cité-jardin verticale, construite sur pilotis, est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO depuis 2016. Créative et avant-gardiste, son architecture surprenante telle un paquebot offre une multitude de jeux de lumière, de perspectives et de couleurs, se présentant comme une œuvre architecturale à part entière.

Derrière ce projet fou de 337 appartement, se cache la forte volonté du  Corbusier d’instaurer une nouvelle manière d’Habiter, permettant de vivre ensemble et de libérer les femmes.

Le Corbusier

Né le 6 octobre 1887 et décédé le 27 août 1965,
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris plus connu sous le pseudonyme Le Corbusier, est un architecte du mouvement moderne. Aux côtés notamment de Robert Mallet-Stevens et de Mies Van Der Rohe, il est un artiste complet opérant également en tant qu’urbaniste et designer. Fondateur de principes tels que le Modulor ou l’Unité d’Habitation, son œuvre comprend 17 sites – 10 en France – classés au Patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco tandis que de nombreuses de ses réalisations sont classées Monuments Historiques.

Parmi ses œuvres emblématiques on compte La Cité Radieuse à Marseille, La Villa Savoye à Poissy, la ville de Chandigarh en Inde et la chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Haut à Ronchamp. Il signe également des pièces de mobilier phares tels que le fauteuil LC2 et la lounge chair LC4.

Le niveau inférieur accueille une chambre intimiste organisée autour de son patio privatif. Elle dispose d’un espace bureau complémentaire ainsi que d’une salle de bains agrémentée d’un sauna.

Une salle de cinéma et de jeux, une chaufferie, une réserve ainsi qu’une lingerie viennent compléter ce niveau.

Côté stationnement, un garage de 46 m² et plusieurs places de parking extérieures accompagnent ce bien rare.

Leopold Cuomo

Architecte marseillais actif depuis la fin des années 1970, Léopold Cuomo développe une écriture moderniste singulière, nourrie notamment par plusieurs années passées aux États-Unis.

Géométrique et sculpturale, son architecture joue avec l’imbrication des volumes, les lignes angulaires et les changements de niveaux. À Martigues, la maison qu’il dessine en 1978 et achève en 1982 en offre une expression particulièrement manifeste : une architecture radicale et graphique, emblématique du tournant des années 1980.
