●
I am an experimental architect based in Paris, consulting and designing around questions of space.
Since the early 2000s, I have worked across diverse spatial practices, from speculative urbanism to biophilic design. I’ve also collaborated extensively with artists, supporting them in navigating new scales and production ambitions for their work.
Attentive to the material and social impacts of each project, I methodically blend material experimentation with approaches drawn from the environmental humanities to craft mindful, vibrant, and inclusive spaces and ideas.
