I am an architect with over 16 years of experience, trained at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Lyon. My journey began in Fine and Applied Arts, which shaped a profoundly artistic approach to architecture: materials, light, color, and emotions are at the heart of each of my projects.
Alongside my work as an architect, I practice photography, painting, and sculpture. These disciplines enrich my approach to designing spaces and help me create sensitive, coherent, and timeless interiors.
Over the years, I have developed a wide variety of projects: villas, apartments, multi-family housing, restaurants, cafes, medical facilities, offices, and retail spaces. My experience in France, Portugal, North Africa, and now the United Arab Emirates has allowed me to cultivate an international perspective while maintaining the French expertise that defines my style.
Based in Dubai, I support my clients through every stage of their project: feasibility studies, architectural and interior design, graphic production, technical coordination, and construction supervision. My goal is simple: to create spaces that combine aesthetics, functionality, and emotion places designed to last and reflect those who inhabit them.
We don’t just design innovative spaces for individuals or professionals ; we design inspiring environments for your living and working spaces. From space optimization and volumetric design to integrated layouts, our vision is built on the harmony between indoors and outdoors. Each of our projects is meticulously crafted to create a balance between architectural elements and local trends, while preserving the elegance and French expertise that define our signature style in Dubai interior design.
Our initial meeting is crucial for the success of your interior and exterior design project in Dubai. We actively listen to gather the necessary information to establish a detailed specification outlining your needs, constraints, location, deadlines, and more.
Following the initial meeting, we present a preliminary sketch of your project based on the defined specifications and the analysis of the plans provided by you or by the project manager. If no existing plans are available, we carry out a precise on-site survey and a full condition assessment to ensure we have accurate and reliable data for the project’s design. This first phase of work will be presented either at your home or at your business premises.
Based on the information gathered during the discovery and sketch phases, your project begins to take shape. During this design phase, we structure the project into several stages, incorporating spatial volumes, color schemes, material selection, technical drawings, cost estimates, and the project timeline.
The entire installation will be carried out by our partners. Your project will be installed in one or more days, depending on its complexity. A final inspection will be performed to ensure the work has been completed correctly.
