About

Background

An independent architect based in Lyon, I build my practice on a simple conviction: every space tells a story. Since 2018, I design and deliver architecture and interior design projects that balance aesthetics, functionality and craftsmanship.

Trained at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Lyon and the Barcelona School of Architecture, I have developed my eye through varied experiences — from the renovation of historic buildings in Porto to the design of commercial spaces in Lyon, rammed earth construction in Belgium and adobe renders in Argentina. These hands-on, participatory sites, far from drawing offices, have deeply shaped my understanding of materials and making.

My approach is holistic: I am involved from the first sketch through to site supervision, paying particular attention to material selection, light and the relationship with craftspeople. Every project is a conversation — with the place, with the client, with what was already there.
