Addition to a house,
Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, 2022
Our client acquired this house which had the defect of being not very luminous. We completely reorganized the interior spaces around a large library tower that surrounds the stairwell. On the outside, we imagined a large bay window with wood frames.

Paris XVI, France, 2015
The clients commissioned us to renovate part of a very large apartment divided into 4 lots. The layout of the lot that concerned us was delicate since there was no water supply or drainage. Another constraint was the large number of load-bearing walls.We created a large living area by designing a piece of furniture that links different rooms such as the kitchen, the living room and the guest room.

Chatou, France, 2022
We were asked to radically transform the ground floor of a house built in the 90's in order to bring more warmth and open the house to the outside. The south wall, initially built in concrete was completely opened and the metal posts that took over were dressed with oak formwork. The oak is found inside on the walls and the kitchen furniture. .
House Extension,
Suresnes , France, 2021
In order to increase the living space of the house, we have completely reorganized the existing building and added an extension on the garden side, an extension on the street side and an elevation.
We chose to play with the difference in height of the land by creating a living room on two levels. The existing ground floor is entirely devoted to the kitchen and dining room and overlooks a cathedral-like living room on the same level as the garden.
The roof of the house is modified in order to create a new floor and accommodate bedrooms and bathrooms.
The extensions are completed and the elevation is in progress.

Paris XVI, France, 2017
Having lived in this apartment for several years, the owners wanted a total reorganization with the objective of correcting two major defects: too much wasted space in the hallway and lack of light in some of the rooms. The reorganization of the core of the apartment allowed the entry of light via the three facades. The surface of the corridors was reduced by 2m². Custom-made woodwork gives character to the whole apartment.

To accommodate a young family of 3 children, it was necessary to completely reorganize this duplex which despite its large surface (160m ²), had only one bedroom and one bathroom. The new layout is organized in two areas. The lower floor which hosts the night part (4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms), and the upper floor which offers a large living space.

Selfconstruction,
Palmarin, Senegal, 2007
After passing one month in a small village of Senegal, I conceived an alternative and thrifty principle of self construction. It takes into account the vernacular qualities (evolutiviness…) without overlooking their desire for modernity.
This system is organized from North/South oriented brick mud walls (good thermal insulation). Between these walls settle flexible and divisible spaces at will from light partitions made of woven millet stalks. This is a habitat that has the potential to grow and change endlessly. By orienting the North/South walls, it also benefits from the passage of the prevailing Eastern winds that will seep through the braids to continuously ventilate the inside.
Daily activities do not have locations as it is in the local tradition but move in seeking shade during the day and light during the night. Walls serve as support to slide mobile furniture (beds, kitchen, etc.)
Addition to a house
Antony, France, 2022
The owners of this house were very attached to their home but needed additional space. The urban and technical constraints were very strong and the only possibility was to extend in a narrow passage of 220cm. Our choice was to imagine an extension that strongly distinguishes itself from the existing house in order to leave the original façade clearly visible. The extension is covered with a burnt wood cladding, an ancestral Japanese technique that makes it rot-proof and UV resistant without the addition of chemicals. On the garden side, large openings are oriented diagonally to avoid the opposite. Delivery scheduled for 2023

Clichy, France, 2018
This complete reorganization made it possible to transform an old one-bedroom flat into a two-bedroom flat, while expanding the living-room space. Each cm² is optimized and a clever mixture of carpentry and ready-made storage boxes has made it possible to obtain a customized result at a very moderate price..
To reconfigure this ageing apartment, the constraints were heavy: many load-bearing walls, difference in levels at the location of what corresponds to an old courtyard...
The objective was to keep the same number of bedrooms, enlarge the living room and kitchen, optimize the bathroom and reduce the space devoted to corridors.

Baraviche Restaurant,
Paris, France, 2013
For this ceviche take away restaurant, We decided to showcase the product in an exotic and off the wall setting for a minimal cost while structuaring the space to facilitate the sale's process.
Thus, the setting reinterpretes the canopy of the virgin forest through wood frames and expended metal cubes painted in tones of green.
At night, the ceiling light integrated in the cubes project silhouettes on the wall that ressemble fishnets, indispensable elements for a good ceviche.

After acquiring an apartment in Paris, our client wanted a complete reorganization of the space as well as a major rehabilitation due to the obsolescence of the premises. On an extremely tight budget, we replaced the dilapidated parts of the apartment (floor, plumbing and electricity) and modified the floor plan in order to gain more surface for the rooms.

It is after several years spent in this apartment that their inhabitants entrusted us with the task of developing this atypical property which was no other than the former garage of a house. We have therefore reduced the circulation spaces to create a second bathroom, enlarged the parental bedroom and created more cupboards, all seasoned with a work on colour to compensate for the lack of light in the apartment.

No major changes in the organization of the apartment, but a total transformation of the bathrooms and the carpentry, as well as a work on the furniture.
in collaboration with Dorothée Félix and Olivia Alix
The house was full of charm but in a very deteriorated state. An important work has been made both in the renovation of the structure and in the reorganization of the spaces and the creation of custom-made furniture.
For this Parisian pied-à-terre ideally located in the heart of Paris, we have completely reorganized the whole in order to increase the impression of space and bring the maximum of luminosity. All the water rooms (kitchen, shower room, WC) are integrated behind a "curved wall" covered with panelling.

Paris VI, France, 2021
In this large 105m² apartment, we were commissioned to create an extra bedroom and an office without compromising the feeling of space. We therefore integrated visual breakthroughs in the form of skylights and wooden doorways in a partition that weaves its way through the apartment.

We completely reorganized this house by adding an extra room to open the living room to the garden. The structural constraints were concealed in arches clad in the same wood as the kitchen facades.
Biodegradable hotel with positive marks, France, 2010
Laureate, Competition Terragorra
It is illusory to wish to freeze nature in the way to preserve it.
Nature is not static but dynamic. Change is a fundamental component in landscape. Every single man's action on nature, either protective or opportunist, has a direct impact on it.
This hotel is an opportunity for us to highlight our off-beat vision about ecology. Here, construction is not an act of nature's destruction but embodies biodiversity after man's passage.
Thus, we design the first biodegradable hotel with positive marks on the environment.

Redefinition of traffic axis through new local services.
South Bronx has different neighborhoods systems with characteristic unused open spaces which lead to a perception of fragmentation in the area. Our solution is to insert small interveners to invigorate these unused spaces and create new interactions and new pedestrian axes. The backyard will become the meeting area.

Newly bought, this apartment needed a complete reorganization of the space as well as a major rehabilitation due to the obsolescence of the premises. On an extremely tight budget, we replaced the dilapidated parts of the apartment (floor, plumbing and electricity) and modified the floor plan. The 2 children’s bedroom can be merged into one single game room. A clever mixture of carpentry and ready-made storage boxes has made it possible to obtain a customized result at a very moderate price..
