royal pavillon royal park, Brussels
This project begins with the creation of a corner : an articulation of three spaces, built with bricks and concrete lintels. An accumulation of corners creates then a cascade, a succession of spaces, each of them made different by the treatment of the lintel. This principle allows then to create a house.
The wall on which I decided to implant my project is particular because it separates completely the urban side of Brussels from the nature of royal park. The house offers a shelter for a little family, but also visual access to the park with a little observatory for the public.
The house’s plan allows to rediscover the inside-outside relations of olden times - the restrooms are outside, but also of today - it is necessary to go outside to reach the working space.
folie
from monolith to neighborhood Gasteig, Munich
old ground floor
new ground floor
The Gasteig currently shelters the philharmonic orchestra, a library and a school. The initial goal of this project was to imagine a new building that would be able to welcome all these programs, This proposition rather offers to keep the existing building and to proceed to series of transformations.
old floor
new floor
The Gasteig being a huge monolithic and withdrawn building, two streets are first cut from the block, to turn the building into a little cultural neighborhood, with a carefully designed square in its center. Some additions re-establish a balance between the buildings and reinforce the connection to the city.
The floors of the library are freed from their dividing walls, which allows to have very big spaces in the center, while halffloors welcome more quiet and private spaces. The existing parts keep their bricks while the additions are made out of the same concrete as the lintels.
swiss room
This project was a proposition for a Swiss Room to showcase Lausanne’s candidature to organize the 28th UIA Congress. The theme of the room was Architecture and Water and it had to be built in one day by three people. We created a floating water cube out of blue rope, in which the visitor swims and wanders, orienting himself thanks to the red furniture, which can remind him of goldfishes.
fisherman’s house Ostend’s port, Belgium
The project is situated in an old port that seems abandoned, where grays and whites prevail, except for a touch of blue, which reawakens the industrial atmosphere of this place. Between pitched roofs out of corrugated iron, a slightly different building responds to the crane’s steel structure : it’s the fisherman’s house.
The girders of the house create the spaces, turn sometimes blue and deform to become furniture : a sink, a kitchen counter, a bathtub. It is a house where interiors and exteriors succeed each other in layers, always following the girder’s rhythm.

living and working Ostbahnhof, München
GSEducationalVersion
The project aims to bring together working and living in the same building. The working and living spaces are however separated by a pathway that goes in and out to offer balconies but also curves to create big staircases and entries for the apartments. All apartments are therefore oriented towards the courtyards while the working spaces are on the side of the street. Concrete details reveal on the faรงade what is happening on the inside.
vertical stage place du Château, Lausanne
This project, designed for an acrobats’ company, makes the most of the differences in level of the square. A wall face is pierced to shelter the backstage, while a wood structure is implanted on this same wall to welcome the stage which opens onto the city.

horloge 5.6 8.0 11.6
This clock is inspired by an old 400 jours clock. We were touched by its fragility, which forces it to stay under glass. This fragility has been recreated through three vertical hands, which have been curved to indicate hours, minutes and seconds. Each point brush a circle drawn at the surface of the globe. Their trajectory is only cut by a fine vertical line, which indicates the position of the 12 on the face. The time is then read in three dimensions instead of two.
