DESIGN TALKS
Penthouse , Monaco
Many years of personal know-how forges new sets of inspiring environments , from the simplest to the fanciest , fruit of a finely tuned team-group supervised by the wellknown designer . The goal is to achieve the best results in terms of craftmanship and customized comfort for the wellbeing of his clients — whom he always wants to know very well .
Originally headquartered in the Netherlands , his international reputation pushed him to create an office in Monaco where he has settled and integrated over a lengthy period of 14 years . Later , having already established a successful office in Monaco , Marieux created one more in Qatar . Marieux sees yet further potential to grow in Monaco . Because of an introduction to the Board of SBM by Mr . Frédéric Darnet ( CEO of the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort ), Marieux was able to leave his design signature for all to experience within
Lobby area , New York the lobby of the Monte-Carlo Bay and the iconic Blue Gin at Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel . He also left his design fingerprints on the Boutique Pretty You and on the Boutique YOUR ’ S , not to mention some amazing apartments in Monaco as well as other gems in the vicinity of the French Riviera .
HelloMonaco had the honour to collect some meaningful commentary from Marieux van den Broek in an exclusive interview .
HelloMonaco : Marieux , what kind of studies did you do before devoting your life to architecture & design projects ? What originally made you want to study this field ?
Marieux van den Broek : Well , I believe that many people want to be a doctor or a lawyer and they keep this dream for part of their life . Then , after five or eight years of studies , and after they have started practicing medicine or legal affairs , they discover reality and say to themselves : “ it is not actually what I expected it would be ”. I personally consider myself lucky since I could really practice and experience my design skills to the full extent from the outset . I am definitely a man who understands proportions , colour schemes , harmony and design itself starting from the drawing stage . I began to work for some families and initial clients who spread the word to other acquaintances and I built my professional network before I even realized how important it was . Then , I understood that I had to learn more and , of course , I did my studies being aware that it would be my job and my passion . If you want to get your driving license , you need to study to receive your permit . And most people think that they can drive well right after that . But forget it ! You
