Coralie is an interior designer originating from France, she was born and raised born in the city of Nantes.
She studied architecture, learning about the construction process and the details of the design of living spaces.
Passionate about travel and curious to feed her open-mindedness, Coralie lived in London for some time in her youth and recently returned to France and living in Melbourne, Australia.

Coralie was drawn to the French Riviera for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and idyllic landscapes. She moved to the Cote d’Azur in in the spring of 2022 and started at Luxoria soon after.

For Coralie there is no singular approach in architecture, each project must respond to its unique context.
More than a cultural, intellectual or technical practice, it requires an attentive look and listening to the world critically, a bit like a conductor who works and composes harmonies to be lived for the people using the space, in order to reach an aesthetic, functional and artistic end need to perceive the essence of a project, its operating territory and its occupants as a whole, a globality.

In her free time, Coralie likes to devote herself to cultural and sports activities, such as strolling in museums, going to concerts, doing yoga. But what she likes most of all is to meet friends around a good meal and share in convivial moments.

Born in Argentina and raised in Italy, Floencia developed a profound passion for architecture, particularly interior design, at the beginning of her career. After completing her master’s degree in Architecture for the Sustainable Project at Politecnico di Torino in Italy, she cultivated an integrated approach to projects, blending aesthetic appeal, functionality and sustainability seamlessly.

During her studies, she gained international experience through various study-abroad programs in Belgium, Madrid, Colombia, Washington, and Buenos Aires. These experiences broadened her understanding of global architectural trends and sustainability practices, shaping her approach to design.

Her education and experiences have shaped her design philosophy, drawing significant influence from the rich tradition of Italian craftsmanship and design aesthetics. Florencia believes in the power of collaboration and values the input of clients and stakeholders throughout the design process. She strives to integrate sustainable practices and locally sourced materials into her projects.

In addition to her career, Florencia values spending time with her family. She finds joy in their company and cherishes the moments they share together. She enjoys traveling and discovering diverse cultures, finding inspiration in art exhibitions, museums, and cultural events. She also has a keen interest in idioms, deriving inspiration from language and human connection to inform her design approach.

Yacine is an architect and designer originally from Algiers, where his fascination with the built environment and artistic expression began early. He studied at the EPAU in Algiers, then at the ENSA in Nancy, France. This dual academic journey shaped his thoughtful and precise approach to architecture, blending conceptual thinking with technical mastery.

He is particularly passionate about transforming creative ideas into tangible realities, with a strong focus on construction details and the articulation of design intent. For Yacine, architecture is more than a profession—it’s a way of seeing, analysing, and engaging with the world.

Drawn to the high standards, creativity, and execution that define Luxoria’s projects, he was naturally inspired to join the team and contribute to work that reflects those same values.

Patient and inquisitive, Yacine is always seeking new perspectives through travel, reading, and sport. These personal passions continue to inform his design approach, enriching his vision for architecture as a discipline that creates spaces that are alive, sensitive, and deeply meaningful.

Juliette is an interior architect who grew up between the Paris region and the South of France, in a family of artists that nurtured her sensitivity to beauty and creative expression. From an early age, she was drawn to architecture and interiors, captivated by how spaces can tell stories, evoke emotions, and reflect the people who inhabit them.

She approaches each project as a blank canvas, combining her eye for detail with a love of materials, volume, light, and colour. Her work is guided by the belief that interiors should be both beautiful and functional—spaces that are harmonious, expressive, and deeply personal.

To Juliette, architecture has the power to shape our way of living, while decoration brings soul and individuality to a space. Constantly seeking inspiration, she learns from every experience and creates with sincerity and intention.

Joining Luxoria was a natural step for her—a chance to grow within a team that shares her passion for quality and design excellence. Her creativity, grounded in both intuition and technical understanding, adds a fresh perspective to each project she touches.
