In the trade, she could well be dubbed “Madame Spa”. Because while working as an interior designer for the past 15 years, Marie-Pierre Martin Charpenel has specialized for the past six of them in the world of spas. By chance to begin with. Her sensitivity and accomplishments then opened doors for her to private clients, luxury hotels and other palatial establishments. “Each spa must be an artwork linked to our own spiritual feelings, capable of making us feel the quintessence not only of the treatments, but also of our own well-being.” Marie-Pierre does not, however, confine herself to this sector alone. She’s interested in everything, as evidenced by her “book” : villas, apartments, real-estate agencies (Nice Properties bears her signature). She also works abroad, from London to Dubai, without neglecting the Côte d'Azur. She designed the new decor of “Le Before” in Nice. Richard Virenque’s villa too. Obviously, this woman with a very full order-book has lots of projects, including a spa of 700 m2 in Dubai, an apartment of 200 m2 in Monaco and two villas, one in Nice, the other in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. A place close to paradise that she knows well, as she joined the company Artec, a design and architecture firm, in 2003. While remaining independent and as free as air. Marie-Pierre Martin Charpenel, Artec, 18 avenue Honoré-Sauvan (04 93 01 37 29).
