CORALIE
Interior Architect & Project Manager
“The essence of a project is the perfect harmony between the aesthetic, the useful and the just.” – Frank Lloyd Wright
Coralie is a French Interior Architect & Project Manager, born and raised in Nantes. From an early age she developed a deep interest in the built environment, which naturally led her to study architecture. This training gave her a strong understanding of both construction processes and the refinement of interior spaces.
Curious by nature and inspired by travel, Coralie has lived in London and Melbourne, enriching her perspective and nurturing an open, international mindset. These experiences shaped her sensitivity to culture, identity, and the way people interact with spaces across different contexts.
Drawn to the cosmopolitan atmosphere and unique lifestyle of the French Riviera, Coralie relocated to the Côte d’Azur in 2022 and joined Luxoria soon after. Today, she manages high-end residential projects, guiding each phase from concept to execution with creativity, structure, and precision.
For Coralie, every project is a story to be told. There is no single approach to architecture; each design must respond to its own context, its territory, and the lives of those who inhabit it. Much like a conductor, she harmonises multiple elements, aesthetic, functional, technical, into spaces that are not only elegant but also meaningful.
In addition to her work, Coralie finds inspiration in art, travel, and cultural encounters. She enjoys pilate, concerts, and museum visits, but what she values most is sharing convivial moments with friends around a good meal. These passions continually enrich her practice, allowing her to approach each project with both discipline and humanity.
