Baptiste LEGUÉ

Interior Designer

Baptiste Legué trained at ESAG Penninghen in Paris and at St Luc in Brussels. As soon as he left the school, he joined the Franklin Azzi agency. For seven years, he sharpened his curiosity, affirmed his knowledge and confronted the demands of the architect-designer profession.

In 2015, he founded the Atelier Baptiste Legué. He then worked on projects for boutiques, flats, second homes or offices and more recently on a hotel project as well as a museum.

In the projects entrusted to him, the Atelier accompanies its clients from conception to delivery, from the layout of the space to the choice of materials, including furniture recommendations and the recommendation of works of art in galleries, which he particularly likes.

Whatever the use of the space to be designed, the Atelier pays particular attention to the quality of the plan, the fluidity of the circulation, the functionality of the spaces, as well as the context in which it is integrated. The Atelier’s projects all have in common that they are uncluttered, designed with raw materials that are intended to accompany their users over time and facilitate their use.

He shares with ARCHIK common values, a sensitivity to beauty and materials with a concern for detail and respect for the history of the spaces he renovates.

BAPTISTE LEGUE-ARCHITECTE-5

For over twenty years, Julia performed on stages across France and around the world as an opera singer. Singing in major opera houses, theaters, churches, abbeys, and exceptional concert halls gave her far more than just an artistic career: it fostered a deep sensitivity to these settings—to their architecture and the emotions they evoke. Through her travels and performances, she developed a keen eye for spatial volumes, light, materials, and that unique emotional resonance that only certain spaces can inspire.

This sensibility took root long before she ever stepped onto a stage. Growing up in Aix-en-Provence, Julia’s life was divided between the conservatory and the family business—two worlds that left a lasting mark on her path: artistic rigor on the one hand, and a love for meeting people, exchanging ideas, and human connection on the other. From an early age, she discovered the joy of music alongside the pleasure of forging connections, listening, persuading, and supporting others.

This curiosity about places is also reflected in her personal journey. Over the years, her numerous moves between Aix-en-Provence, Lyon, and Paris offered opportunities to explore neighborhoods, understand how spaces are used, envision their potential, and imagine a new life. She also chose to invest in Pantin long before the city revealed its full potential. For over twenty years, she has naturally advised friends and family on their real estate projects, reimagining spaces and designing interiors.
Curieuse de toutes les formes d’expression artistique, elle nourrit également son regard au contact d’artisans et d’artistes de son entourage, convaincue que chaque détail participe à raconter une histoire.

Joining ARCHIK felt like the natural choice. After all, the stage and the world of real estate rely on surprisingly similar qualities: knowing how to listen before interpreting, perceiving what makes a place unique, revealing its character, and fostering connections. Ultimately, it is simply another way of telling beautiful stories.

SAINT-BLAISE

The Saint-Blaise district, located in the 20th arrondissement in the northeast of Paris, between rue des Pyrénées and boulevard de Charonne, is a dynamic and picturesque district.

A district in flux since 2002, included in the Great Urban Renewal Project, the district has nevertheless managed to retain a warm atmosphere, far from the tourist bustle of the city center. There are many local shops, lively markets and pleasant green spaces, such as Square Antoine Blondin.

Saint-Blaise is known for its heterogeneous architecture, combining influences from the past and contemporary touches. Integrating the village of Charonne, the district has kept the charm of the old Parisian suburbs. The narrow, winding streets are lined with buildings with colorful facades, offering a bucolic charm. The remarkable Saint-Germain-de-Charonne church, listed as a historical monument, sits as the mother of the district.

A charming mix of tradition and modernity where life is good.

TELEGRAPHE

It is in the eastern part of the 20th arrondissement of Paris that the charming Télégraphe district sits on a hill, offering a panoramic view of the city.

The district – one of the highest peaks in Paris – is outlined in the middle of its many shops, restaurants and cafes with a popular atmosphere, as well as its green squares conducive to strolling. It takes its name from the Chappe telegraph station which was once located there.

The architecture here is eclectic. There are small workers’ houses, artists’ studios transformed into lofts and old refurbished factories, alongside 1970s buildings. Quiet and urban, it attracts many families in search of a pleasant neighborhood life.

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.

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.

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.

Nina PETKOVA

Location Scouting & Rentals

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.

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!
