Who Are We
The La Casa team consists of about fifteen employees driven by the desire to positively impact people's lives by developing a shared living concept that fosters social connections.
Victor
Fondateur & CEO
I established La Casa in 2017 with the vision of Shared Housing, aiming to provide access to comfortable living spaces in major cities while fostering social connections. Now, I see it as a lifestyle promoting the development of sustainable cities. At La Casa, my role is to address various challenges while maintaining and nurturing this inherently enthusiastic and optimistic vision.
Charles
Directeur Opérations & Associé
When Victor approached me in 2017 to join him in opening large shared living spaces for young people, it was a bit of an unknown and a big challenge. Today, it's a no-brainer, and not just for the young! My job is to handle operations, which means dealing with a lot of problems, but also finding a lot of satisfaction with each new opening. On a personal note, I try to stay active in sports whenever I can, dreaming of becoming an athlete and a champion !
Marie-Estelle
Directrice du Développement
My job is to identify where we can design our next Casas. I meet and engage extensively with partners who share our vision and with whom we will develop future projects. I regularly discover unsuspected places, which aligns perfectly with my love for travel! :)
Laetitia
Brand Marketing Manager
I'm responsible for developing the brand image and reputation among prospective candidates, media, and investors. Given that social connection and community are at the heart of our concept, I handle these matters by organizing events for roommates and overseeing La Casa's sustainability plan. I love practicing yoga and traveling; in fact, I've been fortunate to live in very different countries all around the world, experiences that I've absolutely cherished!
Julien
Sales Marketing Manager
I joined La Casa right at the beginning of the adventure. Today, I ensure that Casas are filled with friendly and caring personalities through a well-oiled recruitment system. I find a lot of meaning in creating connections between individuals! And when I'm not at La Casa, I spend my time making music!
Marie-Laure
Responsable Admin. & Financière
Within La Casa, my responsibilities include managing three departments: Accounting, Human Resources, and Property Management. What I love about my job is the versatility and being in touch with all La Casa employees. During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, partying, and traveling.
Charlotte
Créatrice de communautés
At La Casa, I guide applicants from their application process to their move-in day. What I love most about my job is meeting complete strangers and then, a while later, seeing them more united than ever, laughing and enjoying life together. If I were in a Casa, I'd definitely be among the Sports Enthusiasts !
Anaël
Chargée de Développement Immobilier
I assess the feasibility of real estate projects and visit spaces to ensure they can be transformed into future Casas. I enjoy exploring new cities and discovering their hidden gems. Later, I can test them out with my friends !
Joris
Responsable Maintenance
My role within La Casa is to ensure that our homes endure over time! I am in direct contact with roommates to best address any issues they encounter throughout their stay with us. I love building relationships, and with over 350 roommates with diverse profiles, I'm in my element! Two words to describe me: Formula 1 and aperitif!
Stephane
Event & Social Media Manager
At La Casa, I handle communication and events! You'll find me at the party, ensuring everyone gets free drinks :) My main goal is to facilitate roommate interactions and foster a true sense of community. The rest of the time, I divide between sports, sneakers, and motorcycling.
Valentin
Chargé d'aménagement
I'm responsible for furnishing each house entirely. From the smallest spoon to the bed, including kitchen design, my job is to manage all the steps to deliver a comfortable and welcoming home to future roommates. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. And I love motorsport.
Diane
Animatrice de communautés
As the main point of contact for roommates once they've arrived at La Casa, I accompany and address all their questions and needs regarding our services. What I love most in life is laughing and eating McDonald's.
Zoé
Créatrice de comunautés
At La Casa, my mission is to discuss and guide candidates to the Casa that suits them best. What I love in life as well as in my work? Meeting new people, engaging in exchanges, and sharing experiences. I also adore traveling, discovering new cultures, and enjoying (a bit of) partying!
Solène
Créatrice de comunautés
At La Casa, I'm responsible for meeting, discussing, and guiding candidates to the Casa that suits them best. I've always enjoyed sharing and learning from others, which has greatly helped me in my travels abroad and will allow me to assist you to the best of my ability :)

The Genesis of La Casa
La Casa was launched by Victor in 2017, driven by the recognition that housing and loneliness are major issues in large cities. It introduced the concept of shared housing (a form of coliving) in the Paris region. On one hand, renting a comfortable and affordable accommodation in capitals like Paris, where rental pressure is high, is very challenging. On the other hand, large cities tend to foster isolation rapidly, leading to a growing sense of unease among the population. According to an Ifop study, 20% of French people admit to suffering from loneliness, a figure that rises to 38% among young working adults in Paris.
For Victor, it's urgent to disrupt the conventional housing norms in metropolises by emphasizing social connection as a life elixir. It's with this conviction that La Casa opened its first shared housing facility in July 2018 in Maisons-Alfort, just 30 minutes from Paris by metro. By offering spaces that combine private quarters (bedrooms with bathrooms), communal areas (kitchen, dining room, living room, garden), and a sense of community living, La Casa addresses the issues of isolation and inadequate housing in major cities.
To meet the increasing demand, La Casa has expanded to 41 houses in the close suburbs of Paris (Créteil, Rosny-sous-Bois, Colombes, Villejuif, etc.), and currently accommodates around 500 residents with an average age of 29.
