COTE OUTDOOR

Landscape Designer DPLG

After completing her studies at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Paysage de Versailles-Marseille, Elodie Wehrlen became a DPLG landscape designer in 2013. This native of Alsace chose – after having worked for local authorities – to create her own structure, Côté Outdoor, and to dedicate herself to the development of gardens and terraces for individuals. “A desire to change scale. The exterior should be the centerpiece of the house. In Marseille, the potential is under-exploited and often relegated to the last part of the layout.

Her encounter with ARCHIK, whose architectural approach she appreciates, was made on social networks. An interview with Amandine led her to work on various projects. “Either before a sale to provide visual inspiration in 3D, sketches or for concrete realizations.

Her tastes lead her to prefer graphic gardens and terraces, with strong lines and the plants that go with them, such as birds of paradise or agaves.

Her favorite places in Marseille? The Docks building, for its conviviality and its contemporary identity, and a few cosy cafés like Coogee, on the Boulevard Baille in the 5th district.

François BLÉHAUT

Landscape Designer

François began his training in architecture at Paris-Val-de-Seine from which he graduated in 2002. After having collaborated with the Signes agency in parallel with his studies, he became fascinated by landscape design. He then joined the École Supérieure d’Architecture des Jardins et des Paysages, of which Gilles Clément, a world-renowned landscape architect, is the honorary president. After 2 years in Washington,
he moved to New York where he worked on his own for rooftop and garden projects in the Hamptons. He then directed the Landscape design branch for the agency
ODA-Architecture in New York.

After several years in the United States and wanting to reconnect with his home country, he founded the Tamaris agency for his personal projects in France and the United States.

In all of his creations and at all scales, François considers that a landscape project must be a successful link between man and his environment. Adept of the contrast between the regular and the natural, he brings a particular care to the choice of his evolving plant palettes as well as to the durability of the materials used.

After having met Amandine and Sébastien, François was confirmed in his choice to settle in the heart of the Phocaean city. Immediately seduced by ARCHIK’s transversal and precise concept, he decided to join the adventure and bring his expertise to the agency’s pool of experts.

After a childhood spent between Brittany, South-East France and… Tahiti, Marine will settle in Paris before moving to Marseille in September 2021. After studying law and specializing in real estate law, Marine naturally put her knowledge to good use by choosing to work as a real estate agent in Paris for ten years.

Her many moves punctuate her life, and with a passion for travel, she’s always on the lookout for a change of scenery, new encounters and cultural discoveries. Particularly through Asia and Indonesia, where she lived for several months.

Marine’s love of the home began at an early age, when she was raised by her parents. Marine is sensitive to the charm, harmonious volumes and light of a living space. “I love the idea of projecting yourself into a place, rethinking it, decorating it and adding your own stamp to it.”

Marine discovered ARCHIK when she arrived in Marseille, through her sister Alexia, who is part of the team as a negotiator. After other experiences and a renovation project, it wasn’t long before she felt the need to return to her original profession. And so it is that Marine joins the ARCHIK team, ready to support her customers in the south of the city !

Axel CHAY

Bespoke furniture designer

Axel is an object designer and co-creator of the Nova Obiecta studio. Ultra creative and with a precise taste, he also realizes, in collaboration with interior architects, custom-made furniture pieces for singular interiors.

With Nova Obiecta, he designs contemporary pieces, both utilitarian and sculptural, paying homage to kinetic art and the Memphis movement. Seeking abstraction through strict and calculated geometric forms, he seeks to instill a new look around sculptural furniture and plays with raw materials such as cork, steel or aluminum.

Partner of ARCHIK since the beginning, Axel Chay was the first designer to be exhibited in Maison ARCHIK in Marseille, but also to establish the foundations of ARCHIK Editions with the Opu(s) office.

Originally from Antwerp in Belgium, Manon spent her youth in the sunny South of France, between the Côte d’Azur and Montpellier, where she graduated with a master’s degree in Communication. A professional opportunity made her go back to her native Belgium, but she missed the South too much and came back to settle in Marseille, her favourite city.

A globetrotter since her youth, Manon has travelled to many countries to discover other cultures and traditions. Sensitive to environmental issues, she even spent several months in Costa Rica to contribute to the rehabilitation of the local fauna.

What does she love? Art in all its forms. Architecture, music, fashion, photography, gastronomy… The art of life!

And particularly the balance and singularity of the murals by SupaKitch & Koralie, a couple of French urban artists who have, among other things, created the Halles du Lez in Montpellier.

Passionate about decoration, renovation and human stories, Manon joins the ARCHIK team, wishing to bring to her clients her enthusiasm and dedication to the realisation of the projects that are close to their hearts.

Mario Fabre

Mario Fabre était un architecte français formé à l’École Régionale d’Architecture de Marseille, diplômé en 1960. Il a collaboré avec Bernard Laville à partir de 1963, réalisant plusieurs projets immobiliers de prestige pour le promoteur Georges Laville, dont la résidence Château Sec. Fabre a toujours mis l’accent sur la qualité des espaces, le confort des usagers et l’attention au contexte, même dans des projets de grande envergure. Il est décédé en 2024, laissant un héritage architectural notable.

Bernard Laville

Fils de Georges Laville, promoteur-constructeur influent à Marseille, Bernard Laville a suivi sa formation à l’École Régionale d’Architecture de Marseille dans les années 1950. Il a obtenu son diplôme en 1961 et a travaillé dans diverses agences avant de s’associer avec Mario Fabre en 1963. Ensemble, ils ont conçu plusieurs opérations immobilières de prestige, dont la résidence Château Sec. Après la dissolution de leur association en 1969, Bernard Laville a poursuivi sa carrière en réalisant des projets tels que le parc Berger et le Grand Pavois.

Alexia is a true globetrotter who grew up between the Var, Brittany and Tahiti. Lulled by travels and moves, she cultivates her curiosity and her taste for beautiful things, especially fashion and architecture.

After studying at a business school in Toulon and then in Paris, Alexia started working in fashion with brands such as Zadig&Voltaire, Claudie Pierlot and Heyraud. A national and then international experience of more than 10 years where she applies her high standards, her sense of aesthetics and her ability to listen to the brands’ headquarters and then to the boutiques. In France, Spain and even in Singapore, where she settled to develop the commercial strategy of the Château de sable brand.

Human and sunny, Alexia is passionate about beauty through art, fashion, architecture and… painting. A fervent fan of Soulages and Basquiat, appreciating old stones as much as raw concrete, as much a city dweller as a hiker, Alexia is in love with contrasts.

A beautiful page will be turned in 2021 to open a new story with ARCHIK, in the conquest of precious and hidden properties from Allauch to Toulon, via Cassis and La Ciotat. There is no doubt that this fighter will take up all the challenges at your side by accompanying you in the discovery of your future property!
