MUETTE-NORD

A district of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, the Muette Nord district stretches from west to east on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne by the lower lake until it opens onto the Seine at the Pont d'Iéna.

Privileged and family-friendly, Muette Nord is one of the most popular areas of the capital. Life is pleasant there with the best schools, opulent buildings and mansions, green spaces like the vast Ranelagh garden, but also local shops.

On the cultural side, we are delighted with the permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions of the imposing Musée de l’Homme in the neo-classical style, those of the National Maritime Museum, but also with the most intimate collections of the Musée Marmottan Monet in the he former château de la Muette and the Clémenceau museum in the latter’s apartment, dedicated to his life and work. A veritable institution of the district, the famous family brasserie La Rotonde sits at the corner of Chaussée de la Muette. Revamped in 2022 by the New York firm Roman and Williams, and winner of the National Design Award, the decor pays homage to the timeless elegance of Parisian brasseries. The district also hosts the town hall of the 16th arrondissement.

A peaceful neighborhood rich in discoveries

PASTEUR

Bordered by the 7th and 14th arrondissements, the Pasteur district is located to the east of the 15th and notably hosts the arrondissement town hall.

Lively and urban, Pasteur is a district in perpetual motion, animated by its many brasseries, restaurants and shops.

Along its vegetated boulevards, the district is constantly reinventing itself to win over new residents, such as with the complete transformation of the Pasteur museum, or the height gain from the Montparnasse tower culminating at 209 meters and offering the most beautiful panorama. all over Paris.
A must-see cultural venue in the district, the Bourdelle Museum, formerly the sculptor’s studio, offers the public exhibition spaces opening onto gardens adorned with the artist’s grandiose sculptures. We are intrigued by Villa M, a huge glass house with a hybrid concept around well-being and nature, the work of the Franco-Brazilian agency Triptyque Architecture, under the artistic direction of Philippe Starck.

A district in full swing, appreciated by these inhabitants for its places of proximity and centers of interest.

Raphaëlle FORMOSA

Marketing and Communication Manager

raphaelle.formosa@archik.fr

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.

CAMBRONNE

It is in the 15th arrondissement of Paris that the peaceful district of Cambronne takes place.

Cambronne escapes the tourist tumult of the city and offers a green local setting with on one side the square Cambronne and on the other, the square Garibaldi.

Rich in leisure opportunities and hosting several schools, family life is particularly pleasant. 810 meters long and offering a wide range of local shops, rue Cambronne stretches from rue de Vaugirard to place Cambronne where bistros and cafés invite you to relax.

Cambronne is a privileged residential urban sector, which harmoniously combines luxury Haussmann buildings and cubic buildings from the 1970s.

GRENELLE

To the northwest of the 15th arrondissement, bordering the very chic 7th arrondissement and its Champs de Mars, is the Grenelle district, directly linked to the 16th by the famous Pont Bir Hakeim.

Until the end of the 19th century Grenelle was a vast sandy plain where rabbits reigned. Today, the district is better known for its large residential towers and for its brand new shopping center than for its historical past of which few vestiges remain. Built in 1905, the essential Passy viaduct, renamed by General De Gaulle “Pont de Bir Hakeim” has since served as the setting for many films.

To the north of the district and adjoining the 7th arrondissement, don’t miss the Swiss Village, today an essential micro-district for art collectors and antique hunters. Built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, it was at the time a reconstruction of a real Swiss village to become in the 1960s, the village that we know, with modernist architecture, with its glass tiles and its patios.

The Grenelle district offers a living environment where history and architecture mingle.

PLAISANCE

Located between Gare Montparnasse and Parc Montsouris, the Plaisance district retains its formerly suburban air.

A former agricultural hamlet, the Plaisance district became the favorite place of sculptors, engravers and all kinds of artists in the early 1900s. Populated with individual houses with interior courtyards that have become small workshops, the streets of the district are real places to stroll.

Not far from Place Victor and Hélène Basch, Impasse du Moulin Vert presents itself as the typical passage of the district with authentic charm. Place de Seoul, Notre-Dame-du-Travail church, rue des Thermopyles or the villa of Alésia are just as many curiosities that are worth the detour. The backbone of the district, rue Raymond is the shopping street of Plaisance. Food shops and tasty stalls punctuate the district to the delight of its residents.

The district of Plaisance has retained an incomparable charm and offers to the curious walker beautiful discoveries.

Marie CHEMIN

Sales Administration Manager

marie.chemin@archik.fr

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.

BELLEVILLE

Located in the northeast of the capital, Belleville is a popular, colorful and friendly district, shaped by artists and musicians, a real hotspot of urban culture.

Former commune attached to Paris in 1860, Belleville has a strong artistic and working-class past and was built on a hill, which makes it a resolutely picturesque district. Another face of the capital can be discovered in this area with pop and joyful colors, known throughout Europe for its street art. Belleville offers a walk off the beaten track where modern buildings, small villages and townhouses rub shoulders. In rue Rébéval is an industrial building from the 1920s, typical of the Art Deco movement, whose facade with rounded volumes is colored with orange bricks. The district is also known for its hilly park, from which you can admire Paris from a panoramic angle. Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful views of the capital.

In Belleville everyone is there: artists, trendy youth, young executives and tourists, all looking for a lively district full of diversity.

JOURDAIN

A small neighborhood nestled on the heights of Belleville between the 19th and 20th arrondissements, Jourdain stands out as a quiet and urban corner with the appearance of a village.

Lively and lively, Jourdain is a neighborhood where life is good. We particularly like its artistic abundance and its bubbling associative life, both at the origin of many events. Its streets are home to the neo-Gothic church of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Belleville, as well as the Plateau, a 600 m2 exhibition space dedicated to contemporary art. The food shops rub shoulders with decoration boutiques, cafés and new trendy restaurants. There are also magnificent tree-lined streets sheltering Haussmannian buildings and generously flowered interior courtyards. Against a background of accelerated gentrification, this former working-class district is nowadays very trendy and popular. It attracts many families in search of authenticity and conviviality.

A real secret gem!

LA CHAPELLE

Located between Barbès and Flanders, the district of La Chapelle continues to live through its history.

Former village of the same name, this district was a place of passage for merchants, explaining the commercial soul that inhabits it today. Thus marked by its past, the district comes alive around the Saint-Denys Church, the Olive market and its small Square de la Madone.

There are also innovative places like the Halle Pujol. Designed as an ecological architecture, this former SNCF warehouse welcomes entrepreneurs and professional events within its surprising and fully modular building. A true example of modernity, this place breathes new life into the neighborhood.

Popular and lively.

PORTE D’ORLÉANS

Lively and urban district of the 14th arrondissement, Porte d'Orléans is located on the border of the city of Montrouge.

The Porte d’Orléans is today one of the main gates of the city, making the district an axis of great importance. Crossed in part by the Boulevard des Maréchaux, it benefits from easy and quick access to the four corners of the capital. Central, the place of August 25, 1944 shelters the monument-memorial Philippe Leclerc of Hautecloque, work of the architect Raymond Subes and the sculptor Raymond Martin. The work was subsequently redesigned by the architect Sylvain Dubuisson on behalf of the City of Paris in 1997.

Area hit by military servitude, the Porte d’Orléans between the wars saw the construction of Habitations Bon Marché dressed in ocher bricks and white cement emphasizing the games of volumes, the bow windows and the workshops of artists. Set back from the Parisian hustle and bustle, there are some charming corners such as the Village of Orléans. This old subdivision of small houses, with cobbled streets and gracious squares, seduces with its provincial and picturesque atmosphere. Commercial and residential, the district revolves around large avenues.

Porte d’Orléans is a lively and urban district offering many local places to its residents.

Originally from Eastern Europe, Nina has shaped her career through professional and personal experiences in Bordeaux, Bratislava, Vienna, New York, and Paris. Curious about the world and attuned to different atmospheres, she broadened her perspective during a year of travel through Latin America, exploring other ways of inhabiting space and thinking about our relationship to place.

Guided by a sensitivity to places and the stories they hold, she decided to pursue training in real estate appraisal and finance. She views real estate as a convergence of architecture, space, and life journeys, and has developed an approach rooted in active listening, intuition, and an understanding of how spaces are used. As a Slavic woman, she has developed a particular interest in functionalism, appreciating the simplicity of forms and architecture designed first and foremost for practical use.

She prefers Mies van der Rohe and Charlotte Perriand—the former for his work on proportions, the latter for her vision of a living space in constant dialogue with people and nature. She also has a particular interest in Czechoslovakian furniture designers, notably Jindřich Halabala and Jiří Jiroutek, whose functional elegance and timeless forms she admires.

Joining ARCHIK is a natural fit for her approach: the convergence of architecture, design, and personalized support, all dedicated to creating distinctive properties and unique life projects. She brings her interpersonal skills, meticulousness, and architectural sensibility to support each client with precision and dedication.
