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.

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.

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.
