Region: Marseille & Provence

Projet moderniste labellisé Patrimoine du XXe, le Parc du Roy d’Espagne est une vaste opération d’urbanisation du Sud de Marseille partant à l’assaut des contreforts boisés du massif de Marseilleveyre qui sépare le centre-ville des Calanques. Le site naturel aura contribué à orienter le projet des architectes vers le modèle des cités-jardins.

 

Envisagée dès 1959, la construction sera achevée en 1974. L’ensemble comporte un dégradé de 10 tours portant des noms de régions espagnoles, ainsi que 60 villas individuelles noyées dans la végétation de la forêt, dans un cadre offrant confort, intimité, et détente. L’implantation, attentive à l’exposition solaire et respectueuse du paysage, dessine un plan de masse aéré et discontinu.

 

S’intégrant dans une vaste pinède, le programme crée une ville haute dans les collines. L’ensemble, qui possède ses propres équipements, allie services publics et privés, activités tertiaires et logements. Ainsi, commerces, écoles, club de loisirs, équipements sportifs en plein air, et accès direct au départ des sentiers des Calanques sont à disposition des habitants.

Né en 1912 et mort en 1987, Guillaume Gillet est un architecte français, Premier Grand Prix de Rome. Connu pour son architecture moderne, il est à la tête de l’une des principales agences françaises. Il participe à de nombreux concours, réalise d’importants aménagements urbains et programmes immobiliers. Parmi ses œuvres les plus célèbres, on compte l’église Notre-Dame de Royan, le pavillon de la France à l’Exposition universelle de Bruxelles de 1958, l’École nationale de la magistrature à Bordeaux, ou encore la tour le Grand Pavois à Marseille. Une collaboration étroite avec de grands ingénieurs l’amène à travailler sur des structures innovantes, mariant habilement l’art et la technique.

 

Né en 1906, Louis Olmeta est un architecte marseillais. Ses réalisations se concentrent dans les années 1950 et 1960, au moment où la population augmente fortement dans la cité phocéenne. C’est avec l’arrivée de Gaston Defferre que vont se développer ses projets. En effet, le maire de Marseille lance un programme associant de gros travaux d’aménagement urbain et la construction de grands ensembles immobiliers. Louis Olmeta participe également à de nombreuses réalisations privées, souvent en association avec d’autres architectes. Louis Olmeta associe dans ses réalisations les critères du confort moderne et de l’esthétique traditionnelle par le choix des matériaux de façade et de leur dessin.

STUDIO CIAO

Interior Architect

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.

Coté nuit, deux chambres dont une très confortable se partagent une salle d’eau aux teintes brunes, toute de terre cuite émaillée vêtue. Signe d’un fort partis pris, tous les murs sont revêtus d’un crépi beige qui contraste avec le Frejo des huisseries sur-mesure.

Partout, de jolies pièces de designers ainsi que des œuvres finement sélectionnées répondent à l’esprit des lieux, cabanon chic.

Interior Designer

With a degree in urban planning and real estate law, Caroline worked for 12 years on urban renewal and renovation of run-down housing in downtown Marseille, before devoting herself to her passion for design and decoration.

With a background in space design and after numerous real estate projects, she created her agency to put her passion at the service of her clients and create with them custom-made, timeless and graphic spaces.

In her work, Caroline favors the combination of natural and living materials that patinate with time, as well as neutral tones. She likes to emphasize the shapes and architectural uniqueness of certain elements with bright and contrasting colors, in order to create a soft and warm atmosphere. Finally, she attaches particular importance to creating custom-made spaces that are functional and adapted to the occupants’ lifestyle in order to provide them with well-being in their daily lives.

Cultivating a particular attraction to the modern movement with its minimalist lines and raw materials, she believes in the continuity between art, design and architecture and the mixing of styles.

So naturally, she got closer to ARCHIK and its family spirit. And accompanies you in your renovation projects in Marseille with determination and rigor.

Marion GIOVANNETTI

Architect

architectes@archik.fr

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.
