NOUVELLE MAISON STUDIO

Interior Designers & decorators

Nouvelle Maison Studio is the story of an adventure between two people: Rodolphe Roletto, Architect DPLG and Virginie Monroe, Decorator. Together, they build bridges between their passions of fashion, art, architecture and 20th century design.

Before opening their studio, the couple created a chic and bohemian world of high fashion jewellery for several years. They designed and opened several boutiques with refined interiors in Paris, Marseille and Lille, while collaborating with well-known brands such as Annick Goutal, Agnès B., Tara Jarmon, Maje…

From this past in fashion, they have kept the taste for careful finishing, and the detail that makes the difference. “Our strength is our complementarity, we have two visions of the business, allowing us to take a global view.”

The founding duo takes pleasure in offering a complete range of services, from construction to interior design, reflecting the personality of their clients while respecting the spirit of the place. Their eclectic style is interested in pure lines, in light that highlights a volume, in noble materials that come together without fading, in colour that creates emotion, in a fair balance between tradition and modernity.

By opening a brand new space in Marseille in the booming Longchamp / Cinq avenues district, Rodolphe and Virginie are expressing their desire to put their creativity and skills at the service of individuals and professionals. Like ARCHIK, they place great emphasis on the quality of customer relations when accompanying a renovation project.

Involved in ARCHIK from the beginning as co-founder, Sébastien works on all issues related to strategy, brand positioning and customer relations, as well as administrative and financial matters. His leitmotiv is to ensure ARCHIK’s high-end positioning through the quality of its customer relations. “ARCHIK is a company with structured work processes. And for all the cogs to work, it’s a permanent job that is not necessarily visible to everyone.

Sébastien has experience in this field. He worked for BMW for 10 years, from marketing to communications, including press relations and B-to-B sales, an experience which he applies to real estate. “With a background in a brand known for its rigour and the loyalty of its customers, I learnt what customers’ requirements are. It’s a matter of paying attention at every moment.

ARCHIK is characterised by real differences, “a quality of work, a desire to approach properties through the art of living, to offer a living space rather than square metres and to offer a specialised service by accompanying clients in the renovation of properties thanks to architects, decorators and other designers”.

This is an important specificity according to this fan of Frank Gehry, “an architect-sculptor, who also approaches his field in a different way: starting with an intention, an inspiration, he then imagines the tools necessary to make it real and viable”. According to Sébastien, this is a challenge that requires “evolving with the times, remaining flexible and listening to our clients in order to constantly reinvent ourselves”.

Always passionate about design and architecture, on the lookout for the latest trends and creations, Amandine, an engineer by training and with a Master’s degree in Marketing from ESSEC, created ARCHIK in 2014. While she has worked for large groups such as LVMH and L’Oréal, she has also tried her hand at various projects before embarking, in Marseille, on this adventure.

The ambition? To put its sensitivity to aesthetics and a certain art of living at the service of others. The young structure has earned its stripes as an essential stop for architecture lovers, collectors of characterful properties and connoisseurs of beautiful materials. With this objective in mind, Amandine has never ceased to enrich ARCHIK with profiles from diverse backgrounds: cinema, art, economy, luxury…

Its catalog, now very selective, has led it to prefer bourgeois apartments revisited by architects, villas with panoramic views and hidden properties with high potential. “ARCHIK is both a city real estate agency and an architecture agency. We cater to lovers of the city, its energy and possibilities.”

With her team, Amandine scours the city for her clients in search of those living spaces that have a signature. “Marseille is in the midst of change, there is a public for these properties, waiting for a flawless service. And they want to be accompanied in their renovation projects!” says Amandine. What could be better than associating an agency and architects? A story that has only just begun!

A specialist in bastide and mansion houses, with a passion for industrial architecture, Marie is an ARCHIK girl.

Although she loves architecture, it was in the cinema that Marie made her first steps as an editor, in Paris and then in Marseille…

The purchase and several restorations of properties, a 17th century chapel, a bastide and the construction of a very contemporary house in the mountains put her in a good position. She became familiar with real estate and decided to join the ARCHIK team after a first contact with Amandine on Facebook, which is quite a feat for a self-confessed technophile.

In Marseille, she loves the light, the location, the cosmopolitan atmosphere, and a few favourite districts, from l’Estaque to Saint-Barnabé via La Joliette and Arenc, which she surveys relentlessly to find exceptional properties. Her preference today is for La Joliette, a district that is being reborn and where she recommends the theatre, “an ideal place to stroll and have a drink”.

Puis vient le sommet : un toit-terrasse de 100 m2, accessible par ascenseur, s’ouvre sur la baie de Cannes, la mer, les collines. Un lieu suspendu, où le temps semble se dilater, entre ciel et horizon.

En contrebas, le jardin conçu par Jean Mus compose une véritable scène méditerranéenne. Orangers, pins centenaires, potager discret et terrain de pétanque dessinent un paysage structuré, entre végétation maîtrisée et espaces de vie. L’espace piscine prolonge cette sensation : cuisine d’été, tonnelle bioclimatique, terrasses… autant de lieux pensés pour habiter l’extérieur avec évidence.

Une maison annexe de 60 m2 avec garage et accès privatif, actuellement occupée par une gardienne et une dépendance de 40 m2 complètent ce bien d’exception.

Une adresse précieuse, où chaque instant épouse la beauté du lieu, entre héritage Art Déco et douceur de vivre méditerranéenne.

Raphaëlle FORMOSA

Marketing and Communication Manager

With her head full of ideas and the desire to sell them, Raphaëlle first plunged into the world of advertising agencies. For ten years, she put all her energy into strategy and creativity for brands. Then, the desire to work more concretely for the daily life of Parisians led her to work for the public service, in the communication department of the RATP.

But at the same time, a new desire took shape: always attracted by decoration and design pieces, she gradually refined her eye and her tastes, with a particular affection for the interior architects Laura Gonzalez and Dorothée Meilichzon, or the designers Charlotte Perriand and India Mahdavi. From decoration, she moved on to renovation: under the spell of the old, she enjoyed rethinking her first flat, then the second. She likes to sublimate the history of places and quickly becomes passionate about detecting the potential of old properties.

In love with a more intimate Paris, always on the lookout for confidential addresses, she admits to being rather “Right Bank”. When she discovered ARCHIK, she was immediately won over by its hybrid positioning between real estate, design and architecture. Naturally, she joined the Paris agency as soon as it opened, as a negotiator. A role that allows her to accompany her clients in their projects, as a true partner on whom her clients can rely.

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 in Marseille’s 8th arrondissement and elsewhere, from Cassis to Hyères and the Var coast. 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!

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.

Having always worked in the commercial field in the pharmaceutical sector, it is in the field that she sharpens her sense of listening and accompanying. With a particular attention to beauty, which encourages her to push the expression of her singularity even further. His strong personality is an elegant palette of Mediterranean colours, luminous, pure and organic architecture. Not to mention a selection of art, crafts and textured materials for a total bohemian chic look.

Creative, curious, passionate about travel, gastronomy, culture and fashion, she is sensitive to the work of Le Corbusier for its avant-gardism, to the poetry of the designer Elise Fouin and to the invitation to travel of India Mahdavi.

Having come close to a career as a fashion designer, she finally turned to a world that was more like her and that brought together what made sense to her: a return to her fundamentals. She found the perfect balance at ARCHIK, where she shares the language and the notion of the art of living.

What does she like about Marseille? The impression that everything is possible. Its effervescence animates her, as much as its connection with nature: “the creeks just a stone’s throw from the city”.

Marie CHEMIN

Sales Administration Manager

Since her end-of-study internship in Communication and Marketing at Maison ARCHIK in Toulouse, Marie has not left the adventure: for almost a year, she has been roaming the pink city as a negotiator, before joining Marseille in April 2018, as Sales Administration Manager. A valuable support provided daily to the teams in the three cities.

Right from the start, Maison ARCHIK seduced her for its innovative and meaningful concept… “It’s beautiful, simple and different. Crossing disciplines, highlighting the essence of a place, and perfecting the habitat are values that drive me, which is why I found myself in many codes…”. The work environment corresponds to her personality, which is oriented towards art, design, architecture and aesthetics. It is therefore natural that she immerses herself in this world of global thinking around the habitat.

What does she like about the city? Walking in the street, being attentive to buildings, trying to distinguish flats, inner courtyards, and finding unusual architecture or places. It’s a way for Marie to appreciate the atmosphere of cities, their different neighbourhoods, whether they have the charm of the old like the Carmes and Esquirol in Toulouse, whether they are cosmopolitan like the Vieux Port or Noailles in Marseille, or more historical like the Opéra or Marais districts in Paris. Different neighbourhoods, but lively, each in their own way.
