Reflections of a pine garden in a picture window: a fringed awning, a gilt-framed mirror and the greenery layered over them

« The client is at the heart of the project. Their story, personality and aspirations shape its outline. My role is to interpret them and give them a singular architectural expression. »

Signature

Simple lines, precise details

Flowing spaces, balanced volumes, mastery of light and sensitivity to materials: each project takes shape in a search for harmony, where every detail contributes to a singular architectural language.

  1. Listening

    The client is the project. Everything begins with taking the time to understand a way of living, working and entertaining.

  2. Flow

    Spaces that follow on naturally from one another, obvious circulation, rooms that breathe.

  3. Light

    Natural light is the first material. Orientation, openings and materials are chosen to capture and modulate it.

  4. Attention to detail

    A joint, a handle, the edge of a worktop. Elegance often lies in what goes unnoticed.

  5. Inside and outside as one

    Architecture, interior and landscape are conceived together, so that the outside extends the inside.
