FLODEAU

Interior Designer

architectes@archik.fr

Florence Deau, interior architect and decorator, embodies a singular signature in which elegance meets functionality, creating spaces that go beyond simple design. She reveals her talent by capturing the essence of each space and reinterpreting it with an aesthetic sensibility all her own.

Her approach finely blends raw, natural materials, which she magnifies with a discreet yet striking touch of sophistication. The result? Interiors that exude a timeless modernity, volumes that dialogue harmoniously with light, and atmospheres that, beyond their beauty, tell a story.

In every project, Florence favors a made-to-measure creation where every detail, from the choice of furniture to the finish, is thought out to resonate with the soul of the place and its occupants. Whether designing a refined pied-à-terre or a home with character, she infuses each space with a unique identity, in perfect symbiosis with the ARCHIK spirit.

Director

Originally from the west coast of France, Marine grew up by the ocean. As a child, she spent her vacations between Pornic and La Baule, and developed an early interest in the seaside architecture typical of the Atlantic coast. Designing, thinking and re-structuring spaces were all activities that animated her as a teenager, and her bedroom was her first laboratory.

Curious and a jack-of-all-trades, she enrolled in a business school, which taught her the basics of the corporate world and opened up a whole new world of possibilities. Her various travels led to decisive encounters in her life, and as a young graduate, she settled in La Rochelle with her future husband, against a backdrop of rugby. Together, with no experience of building work, but with boundless motivation and a wealth of ideas, they set about renovating their first shop, stripping it bare to create a warm and inspiring place to live.

It was the birth of a new shared passion, which led them to successively undertake the renovation of different projects, born of their successive moves. While Marine designs the volumes and the choice of materials and furnishings, she also spends hours scouring hundreds of real estate ads in search of the next nugget to renovate. In 2016, it was her meeting with Cédric Fourteau, director of the Arcachon agency, during the sale of her own house, that finally convinced her to turn her passion into a profession, and she opened her first real estate agency in La Rochelle, her home town where she returns to live.

ARCHIK? An obvious choice, naturally embodying three fields dear to her heart and which have accompanied her for years: architecture, real estate and design. With her strong attachment to the human side of things, she can also identify with the values of the brand and its founders Amandine and Sébastien.

Christophe GIRALDÉ

Agency Manager

Born and raised in the Basque country, Christophe has always lived in areas with a strong architectural identity. A man with a passion for human relations, it was in the pharmaceutical industry that he exercised his management talents with sales teams throughout France, for almost 20 years, a guarantee of high standards and rigor in the management of customer relations.

A lover of aesthetics and singular places, he discovered Royan as an “open-air architectural laboratory”, sharpening his curiosity to better understand and appreciate this singular architecture.

It was on this playing field that he decided to put his commercial experience to good use, contributing in his own way to the promotion and transmission of this exceptional architectural heritage. Having become an inexhaustible source of information on the eclecticism and richness of this heritage, where seaside villas from the late 19th century stand side by side with modern architecture from the 1950s, he has been transforming his passion for real estate and architecture into a professional activity for almost six years now, in and around Royan. He quickly forged links with local players in the fields of architecture, construction and renovation, as well as urban planning and real estate law, in order to offer tailor-made support to his customers.

Joining ARCHIK was an obvious choice for Christophe, a brand as unique as his own approach to real estate.

Amandine COQUEREL

Co-founder

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!

Sébastien COQUEREL

Co-founder

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”.

Raphaëlle FORMOSA

Brand Director

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.

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.
