Hôtel des Académies et des Arts | LIZEE . HUGOT

The Hôtel des Académies et des Arts was conceived and designed by architect Stéphanie Lizée of the Lizée-Hugot Studio. After several years of collaboration with various Parisian agencies, Stéphanie Lizée and Raphael Hugot created their own architectural studio. They are especially at the origin of the creation of the hotel Le Sud in Juan-les-Pins.

They are committed to giving a soul to places without imposing or prescribing anything. They left parts of the rooms raw to express the strengths and authenticity of their creations. Their ambition is to tell a story about the place. Each project is in sync with its history and its environment.

To achieve this, Stéphanie Lizée likes to research materials and expertise, select unique pieces, design custom-made furniture, and master decorative contrasts. Her approach to interior design has made Stéphanie Lizée the obvious partner for a hotel such as L’Hôtel des Académies et des Arts, and allowed her to emphasize freedom and creativity. As a twist of fate, Stéphanie was a student at L’Académie Charpentier specialising in interior design on the Rue de la Grande Chaumière.

Lizée-Hugot seek balance and precision, particularly in designing most of the furniture. Their objective is to provide the space with its own identity. Their approach is also guided by instinct. Colors are freed and owned, as well as the confrontation and juxtaposition of materials, the curation of unique pieces, and the search for outstanding craftsmen. Major artistic references also inspire their creations.
