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.

Winner of the first edition of the Pli PublicWorkshop, the BehaghelFoiny studio was offered the opportunity to exhibit its colorful pieces at the Maison ARCHIK Marseille.
Their work revolves around a flexible aluminum tube, which they twist and untwist to draw the object in space. To reinforce the silhouette, they then cover it with plaster, fiberglass and resin as needed. The solidified object is then covered with a tinted coating, applied with a knife like an exaggerated textured plaster.
The detour by hand then reveals the alternative potentials of industrial tools. Without reducing materials to their conventional functions, Antoine and Alexis consider them with a primitive eye as raw resources to manipulate. “Tubulure” tends towards a new type of craftsmanship that would mutiny a production system dependent on heavy industry and a standardization of tastes.
Studio BehaghelFoiny
The duo, composed of designers Alexis Foiny and Antoine Behaghel, conceives a new typology of furniture in the form of transitory objects. Starting from the premise that the domestic universe to which we have access in the large distributors seems sometimes stuck in prefabricated and standardized representations, they propose an alternative domestic universe. Also qualified as a laboratory, the design studio multiplies the experiments in an exhaustive way, in the form of an inventory.
A primitive look at the material.
In the midst of industrial resources, they have developed an ability to produce furniture in an absolutely autonomous, and “neo-prehistoric” way.

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.

‛Carnations’ est un travail de recherche mêlant réemploi de cuir et terre porcelaine recyclée.
This is a limited series of objects and furniture for the home, unique pieces handmade in France, made in collaboration with ceramist Fanny Richard, leatherworker Aurélie Chadaine, and the tile factory Normandy Ceramics.
The leather scraps, end of series or rejects from the fashion industry, are collected to be revalorized, sublimated by their asperities, irregularities of the skin, scars, natural wrinkles or veins, which make the uniqueness of each object. It is a meeting of materials and know-how, between the suppleness of a leather skin and the velvetiness of hard porcelain or enamelled stoneware.
Out of a desire to perpetuate Studiofoam’s enchanting universe, and still in this logic of offering a global package, we have co-published ONDE(S), a limited edition luminous suspension.
Caroline Venet
Caroline Venet created Studiofoam in 2017, which she conceives as a research laboratory. Through this design studio, Caroline proposes a unique interpretation of materials, questions manufacturing techniques and processes, between innovation and traditional know-how. The designer explores the boundaries between art, craft and design. She develops a multiple approach, from experimentation to installation, from material and surface design to product design, set design, scenography and art direction.

ARCHIK continues its exploration of architecture, art and design by inviting the Parisian gallery Amelie Maison d'Art for this new exhibition.
Since ancient times in the Near and Middle East, the clay architectural model has explored, in a more or less explicit way, the relationship to reality and the sacred. Similarly, throughout the centuries, the practice of “paper architecture”, also called “visionary architecture”, has often been used by architects and artists to experiment with utopian projects and represent imaginary spaces. These conceptual drawings and models reflect a desire to imagine the world of tomorrow in the image of man, sometimes in opposition to the rationality of technology.
Pushing back the boundaries of art, craft and architecture, the sculptures and works on paper presented in “Shaping the Imagination” return us to this practice. Anouk Albertini’s series of monolithic buildings and natural biomorphic forms announce their relationship to the body with their titles “Family” and “Couple”. In parallel, Pilar Angeloglou’s constructions, like archaeological sites, are evocative of ancient and traditional architecture. Frédéric Heurlier Cimolaï’s work on paper, evoking mass plans, is intrinsic to his formal research on the proportions and modulations of space. Finally, Delphine Brabant’s radical constructions refer us to a monumental and brutalist architecture, communicating an expressive force to modernist and utopian currents.
Exhibited in the ARCHIK HOUSE, a place of work and creation around architecture, the pieces presented in “Façonner l’imaginaire” gain in autonomy and manifest their status as both objects and carriers of ideas.
Amelie Maison d'Art
“Since the beginning, our bias has been towards contemporary abstract art, which we feel is the strongest expression of the creative freedom of each artist who must create his or her own pictorial vocabulary.
Unlike figuration, abstraction also allows for an unlimited field of interpretation where the imagination of each artist is put to the test. Never seeing the same thing twice in a painting is the strength of abstraction.
We want to bring out a new generation of artists who deserve a prominent place in the art market.
Whether they are young or already present in prestigious collections, what all our artists have in common is their talent and the potential that our committee of experts recognises in them.
Our mission is to accompany them in their work, to increase their visibility, their notoriety and their rating.”
These conceptual drawings and models bear witness to a desire to imagine the world of tomorrow in the image of man, sometimes in opposition to the rationality of technology.

With 15 years’ experience in advertising in Paris as a creative designer for major brands such as Adidas, Google and Coca-Cola, Nicolas learned what makes great work: simplicity of concept, precision of method and exacting standards of production.
It was when he wanted to put his creativity to work on more concrete, tangible projects that Nicolas Souffleur decided to take the plunge and train in space design at the Ecole Boulle. His first agency experience came in Marseille, at Un Jour D’Avril! At the same time, he discovered ARCHIK’s multidisciplinary approach and entrepreneurial energy. Nourished by this universe, he decided to launch his own business in 2023, creating STUDIO CIAO, specializing in interior design projects for individuals and companies.
During a stay in Shanghai, Nicolas was struck by the work of Ólafur Elíasson, then exhibited at the Long Museum, whose works and their effect on the viewer were specially created and designed for the venue. It’s an approach Nicolas can identify with. A lover of ideas and stories, he initiates each project with a concept that serves as a guiding thread, gives meaning and aims to create spaces and settings that escape standardization and boredom. His materials of choice are wood and concrete for their timeless durability, and mirrors for their ability to transform a space.
With ARCHIK, Nicolas shares the vision of a privileged relationship with his customers, based on a passion for architecture and a tailor-made approach to their project.
An artist since her childhood, Marion naturally went on to study Art History, then architecture at La Villette in Paris, driven by her passion for conception. HMONP architect, she first put her skills at the service of various Parisian agencies, notably as team leader at Axel Schoenert Architecte.
In 2019, she decides to fly on her own and create her agency, to find the space of the sensitive: the history of a place, its inhabitants, their life project and their uses, the material … Originally from the Drôme, she returns to Provence to build and create in places that make her vibrate for their light, their landscape and their colors. She fell in love with Marseille for its sea and its cultural diversity, and settled there in 2020.
Passionate about the art of living in general and inspired by nature, travel, and world craftsmanship, Marion is particularly fond of “full-body” materials such as wood, concrete, terracotta, stone and glass, for their ability to last and develop a patina over time without losing their essence.
She exercises the profession of architect in its rigor and its range of responsibilities, adopting the role of conductor and creative master. In her renovations, she gives pride of place to the play of light that evolves with the day and the seasons.
With ARCHIK, Marion shares this same passion for the art of living. Convinced that together we are stronger, she joined the team to accompany you on your renovation projects in Marseille and its surroundings.
