A blank page to write in this apartment on the rue des Martyrs, which has been asleep for years. A playground of 112 m²to invest fully.

Target

Adapting an apartment to today’s uses and functions, thanks to the decompartmentalization of the kitchen and the creation of a parental bedroom with dressing room and large shower room.

Atelier Baptiste Legué Projet Rue des Martyrs Paris - Mai 2022

Course of action

A strong intervention on the entrance space and the kitchen, completely remodeled, and the creation of a contrast of this space with the rest of the apartment. Thought as a small stage, everything in the kitchen is there to highlight materials such as pink Quartzite opus, travertine, and dark wood.

Materials of unusual use, such as the Incertum opus in Pink Quartzite in the kitchen floor and the entrance hall, create a sense of surprise and are enhanced by custom-made arrangements in blackened oak and dark paint.

Achievement

The work on the custom-made layout elements has allowed the creation of functional spaces, as well as a simple and uncluttered reading of the spaces. It also allows to highlight elements such as a central island in travertine or furniture.

The adult bathroom, with its flowing shower and transparent dressing room, reveals a warm space bathed in light from the south.

Clean lines and uncompromising style, with bold but always accurate choices.

PARIS DESIGN WEEK

7 – 16 September 2023

For the 3rd year running, ARCHIK is supporting French design and creativity by partnering Paris Design Week. In September, Sabourin Costes will have carte blanche to create an exclusive scenography to showcase and unveil our new edition, co-created with the design duo.

Paris Design Week has become a not-to-be-missed highlight, giving a voice and visibility to emerging and established artists at our Parisian home in the heart of the Marais district, 14 rue de Montmorency.

This year, with the support of Le French Design by VIA, we are launching our 8th edition, co-created with the design duo Sabourin Costes. Paola Sabourin and Zoé Costes have been given carte blanche to imagine an exclusive scenography and unveil our edition during #PDW23. It will be revealed at the heart of a scenography composed of pieces created by the designers for their first solo show, like a dialogue between the straight line and the organic curve.

A preview launch for Sabourin Costes and ARCHIK.

SABOURIN COSTES

Sabourin Costes is a design studio founded by Zoé Costes and Paola Sabourin.

From their Paris studio, they compose and shape surprises. By combining a meticulous exploration of materials and how they are used with formal and functional research, they create singular objects that catch the eye and celebrate the everyday.

Their preferred materials are simple yet refined: lacquered wood, polished stainless steel or transparent resin. They play with reflection and distortion to create unexpected, contemplative moments.

ARCHIK X Sabourin Costes is the result of a shared desire to explore and give birth to a unique creation, a retranscription of two distinct worlds that meet and complement each other.

SAINT-DENIS

Located 10 km north of Paris, the city of Saint-Denis, cosmopolitan and multicultural, has experienced several waves of development and continues its transformation today.

First famous for its basilica, emblem of the city, the historic center has several monuments of remarkable architecture. It also houses the Parc de la Légion-d’Honneur, adored by families and inhabitants of the district, but also the largest market in Île-de-France, a veritable institution and witness to the territory’s trading past.

Crossed by the Seine which offers picturesque landscapes along its banks, the Saint-Denis canal has gradually become a place for strolling and relaxation. Appreciated by its inhabitants, Saint-Denis embodies the main character of the eponymous song by the artist Grand Corps Malade, an ode to “the great lady”.

The city has also experienced contemporary architectural developments, in particular with the construction of the Stade de France around which a brand new district has been built combining housing, shops, restaurants and a cinema. With the future Saint-Denis – Pleyel station, whose inauguration is scheduled for 2024, Saint-Denis is preparing to become a real centrality in northern Paris.

Cagnard

June – August 2023

The exhibition that brings together Marseille's new design scene.

archik-immobilier-architecture-evenements-cagnard

“Cagnard” means raw sun, scorched rock and the Corniche in Marseille. A return from the beach, the body numbed by the rays, the skin still salty. And then, a metal bench, refreshing in the scorching air. All around, the blue sky and the Mediterranean soothe the soggy spirits.

This exhibition brings together Marseille’s new design scene. In this scenography halfway between the sidewalks of the Corniche and the rocky depths of the Mediterranean, ARCHIK presents a curation conceived as a concretion of radical, colorful and organic pieces.

archik-immobilier-architecture-evenements-cagnard-1

The artists

Born on Reunion Island, LÉA BIGOT, a native of Marseilles by adoption, creates sculptures with organic lines inspired by the energies of nature. Somewhere between design and art, her unique, free-form pieces are made in ceramic and pewter.

From their workshop in Marseille, ROMAIN CARLÈS and PAUL DEMARQUET perpetuate a woodworking tradition that is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean art of living. They design modern, timeless, sunny and aquatic furniture and objects, in one-off pieces or limited series.

Born in Nîmes, AXEL CHAY now lives in Marseille. He designs radical, colorful pieces, mostly in metal. Influenced by the Memphis movement, his functional, sculptural designs have already become iconic.

A designer sensitive to curves and drawing, THOMAS DEFOUR lives and works between Hyères and Paris. Lacquered tubular steel, boat-inspired nylon netting, bespoke carved wood, he imagines objects with a post-modern approach and mixes traditional manufacturing methods.

SOPHIA TAILLET finds inspiration in exploring materials. The designer thinks of her functional pieces as sculptures, especially glass, which she shapes as she experiments.

archik-immobilier-architecture-evenements-cagnard-2

The artists

Originally from south-eastern France, DELPHINE DÉNÉRÉAZ is a visual artist who lives and works in Marseille. With a degree in textile design, she creates pieces using the lirette weaving technique, which consists of creating tapestries from reused domestic fabrics.

France and Caroline have combined their names to create ATELIER FRANCA, a ceramics workshop that revisits codes through handcrafted pieces with pure, organic lines. Their signature: sky-blue, ochre and white earthenware.

Photographers and artistic directors, Steven and Coline of IGO STUDIO evolve in a universe that is both realistic and absurd. They also express themselves through the creation of objects that materially represent their universe, largely inspired by the “Marseilles aesthetic”.

Interior architect and designer MARION MAILAENDER lives and works between Paris and her native city. She imagines bold interiors for hotels, restaurants and private clients, as well as design pieces that combine “fun and function”.

SOUTHWAY STUDIO, an artists’ collective founded in Marseille by Emmanuelle Luciani, is an “unclassifiable” structure that promotes and revisits the decorative arts. SOUTHWAY STUDIO is also a lively, multi-faceted gallery, artist residency and bed & breakfast in the heart of Marseille.

Souvenirs de l’antique I François Bazin

March – May 2023

This exhibition retraces the creative process of the designer who imagined a scenography with a soft and comforting atmosphere, evoking his travel memories.

Through this scenography, François Bazin expresses his vision of a graphic design with pure lines, inspired by plants and architecture. He also pays particular attention to environmentally friendly production methods and the choice of materials he uses. Each object is made by French and European craftsmen, selected for the quality of their work.

Most of the pieces on display were designed for the occasion. Some of them are directly inspired by the discoveries he made during his visits to historical sites. We find the shapes of a column, a fountain or an acanthus leaf. Others come from his observation of nature, like the meridian, inspired by the movement of the waves and the sunset, which the designer contemplates every summer evening.

François Bazin

François Bazin studied at the Versailles School of Architecture, where he deepened his knowledge of classical arts and garden architecture.

Self-taught, he began with drawing, then worked on wood sculpture before creating ceramic pieces. Inspired by nature, he now creates lighting, furniture and small objects for galleries and interior designers, for whom he also creates custom pieces, adapted to each project.

Through an immersive scenography that transports us into a cozy living room inspired by the homes of ancient Greece, François Bazin evokes his memories of travel.

Varnishing

In Boulogne, 125 m2 of open-plan offices have been given a new purpose: that of a tailor-made home.

Target

For this new space created from scratch, the objective was to give pride of place to perspectives and to open up. To close off rooms without appearing to do so, and to recreate each space in a flat.

ARCHIK-IMMOBILIER-PARIS-ACHAT-VENTE-PAP02-4

ARCHIK-IMMOBILIER-PARIS-ACHAT-VENTE-PAP02-21

Course of action

The desire to bring warmth to this industrial space dictates the use of oak as a guiding line throughout the flat. A real trompe-l’oeil that hides the classic office codes, hides the ducts, and groups the water rooms.

Achievement

The decompartmentalisation of the spaces to keep the loft spirit is underlined by the made-to-measure joinery which draws the different living spaces. Oak dresses the edges of the bay windows, creating a frame, and is found as a metaphor on the bathroom cabinet. A red staircase in folded metal created by the designer Axel Chay provides access to the terrace. The office area is delimited by the wall shelves which overflow onto the living space, like a fusion of spaces.

The only water column, a real constraint of the flat, obliged to gather each water room in the same neuralgic point. A camouflaged cube was then created behind the bookcase, opening through a back door onto a bathroom with toilet. The kitchen is juxtaposed with this on the one hand and the bathroom of the master bedroom on the other. The Leicht kitchen has a stone worktop and a grey-green waxed concrete floor that highlights the colour chosen for the cube, the centerpiece of this renovation.

The ceiling rails were retained, while the original parquet floor was sanded and glazed while retaining its natural colour. The two structural posts that weighed down the space are now adorned with striated wood, allowing them to disappear throughout the living area.

États de Verre I ATELIER GEORGE – GARNIER & LINKER

Novembre – Février 2023

As part of the launch of its Revue N°4 on the theme of glass, ARCHIK presents an exhibition as a tribute to this timeless, malleable and infinitely reusable material, which has been present in architecture and design for decades.

Atelier George

Atelier George is a duo composed of Eve George and Laurent Fichot, designers and glassblowers. In their workshop, they work together from design to manufacture. Their work includes lighting, tableware and wall tiles, all created using molten glass techniques. Each object of the Atelier is unique: thanks to the mastery of glass blowing, the objects are never reproduced identically.

This exhibition highlights the co-creation of the TANGO edition. ARCHIK invited Atelier George to create a scenography illustrating the glassblowing technique through its new edition as well as a selection of pieces from its collections. The TANGO edition is displayed on a black table with bluish reflections by designer Xavier Montoy. An Arc chair by Pascal Mourgue invites you to sit down. Behind it, a wall weaving by Léa Parraguin echoes the shades of blue of the lights and vases from the Atelier George collections.

Garnier & Linker

The strength of the design duo Guillaume Garnier & Florent Linker lies in their ability to enhance forgotten techniques and to constantly renew their application and aesthetics. This strength also resides in the creative method they have put in place: a hybrid process that borrows as much from design as from craftsmanship and sculpture, and that comes to life between the studio and the workshop.

The Garnier & Linker collection was born of experiments with ancestral materials and know-how. Alabaster, obsidian, volcanic stone, bronze, plaster and solid cast glass: all materials reinterpreted in a contemporary language. Each model is handmade by French master craftsmen.

The techniques of blown glass and lost wax glass paste are highlighted in this exhibition dedicated to the material of the year: glass.

Nathalie Rozencwajg

DPLG Architect

architectes@archik.fr

Immersed in a multicultural environment since her birth, between Luxembourg and Brussels, Nathalie flew to London in 1996 where she studied architecture at the Architectural Association. Her career path and experiences led her to work in renowned firms where she participated in large-scale projects around the world: the Onassis Foundation in Athens, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Great Britain, and numerous projects in China. Wishing to fly on her own, she created several agencies in 2007 and founded NAME in 2018. Between London and Paris, the agency works on projects of various scales, from the individual to the collective, often winning awards. Among the emblematic projects, an Arctic resort in Lapland, a shopping mall in Bangkok and a new hotel for a desert climate.

Nathalie brings that European touch of elegance and attention to detail and aesthetics, which appeals to her international clients. She is a regular contributor to architecture & design magazines and participates in conferences for international audiences.

Her projects are inspired by the city and the urban lifestyle, but also by the history of a place, its materials, its patterns or the traces found there before renovating it. She cherishes light wood, white, linen, ceramics, and Luis Barragán’s architecture for its mastery of proportion, light and color.

With ARCHIK, she shares the same universe where Beauty has a primordial place, and where the history of a place shapes a renovation.

Heju

Interior Designers

architectes@archik.fr

Hélène Pinaud and Julien Schwartzmann met on the benches of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Strasbourg in 2015. After graduating, they founded their own studio HEJU in 2015 and created a universe mixing Japanese and Scandinavian influences.

Using minimalist lines and volumes, they create timeless places with the aim of optimising spaces, challenging codes and customs while advocating a return to emotion. They infuse poetry into their clients’ daily lives while favouring natural, living materials that develop a patina over time. The choice of materials, colours and textures is at the heart of their thinking in order to create atmospheres that appeal to all the senses.

At HEJU, beauty comes in the simplest details, as evidenced by their architectural compositions, furniture lines and material combinations.

Their projects are the result of deep spatial and functional reflection, in line with the essence of the place and the lifestyle of their clients. Several values unite us: the continuity between art, design and architecture, in order to create unique places. The fluidity of volumes and the love of the modernist trend.

Under the roofs of Montmartre, a 63 m2 flat with eleven windows finally reveals its full potential to become an open, raw yet intimate and warm living space.

Target

To arrange each space in the flat in such a way that it can always benefit from the light coming in through the eleven windows. The challenge was also to make the corridors disappear.

Course of action

The choice of framing, transparency and perspective were essential to reveal each space. Finally, in keeping with the architecture of the place, the exposed beams and the volume of the main room were preserved.

Raw materials such as Vals stone, steel, stainless steel, glass, and a raw oak parquet floor have been used to magnify the project without ever stifling it.

Mise en oeuvre

Les meubles d’agencement, dessinés sur-mesure, viennent créer les espaces autour d’un mur porteur central : aucune cloison n’a été ajoutée dans l’appartement.

Chaque espace est pensé en lien avec le suivant par une série de meubles. Nous passons du salon à la chambre au travers d’une bibliothèque aux montants en acier et vitrée, vers la salle de bain, en traversant un des meubles.

Enfin, un soubassement ceinture la pièce principale et permet de cacher subtilement le chauffage tout en créant une assise conviviale et en dissimulant du rangement.
