WHY NYC ?
Oth er th a n those spec ific arc hitec tural skills I also learnt about the org a n i za ti on of a firm, the w ay of approc hing a projec t in the US, i ts d i fferen t phases and the extreme prec ision w ith w hic h americ ans org a n i ze a set of draw ings (anotations, referenc es, sc hedules, folder sorti n g , meetings,...).

Eac h person w as free to com m en t or suggest ideas, etc ... We w ould leave this meeting w ith a sch ed u l es’ sheet, w ith the number of hours to be alloc ated to eac h p roj ect i n order to have an ac c urate invoic e for eac h c lient. I am now going to present a selection of my work at RYA.

I enjoyed the young, relaxed yet dynamic atmosphere of this New York studio in which I learnt many useful skills for my future profession. As I said before, I was involved in a lot of differents activities such as 2D drawing on Autocad, 3D modeling, physical modeling, photo shooting, graphic design and image treatment.

This w as the first task of my internship : redraw ing the details of a c abinet w ith the millw orker’s plan (not alw ay s given as an autoc ad version to the arc hitec t) as a starting point. I had the oportunity to visit the c ompleted projec t to w hic h belonged this c abinet : an impressive penthouse w ith a view on C entral Park... Welc ome to New York !!
GRAPHIC DESIGN
At the end of each year, RYA likes to create an original gift for its clients. I was in charge of this task during my internship and really enjoyed this approach of graphic design creation, craft realisation as well as the gesture towards the architect-client relationship. This is the origami house shaped goodie box and postcard - signed by the whole RYA team - I made.

PROJECT VISITS
I visited this project at the begining of my internship ; it is the rehabilitation of a penthouse in the upper east side, with a view on Central Park from every room of the appartment. Once again the high quality of all the materials was impressive ; wallnut wood walls, custom shelves, cabinet and kitchen counter, leather finitions in the mini-bar and all signature furniture.

CULTURE ! Living nine months in New -York was also an apportunity to learn outside of the studio. The energy of this city is truly not a legend. During my year, I enjoyed going out after work for exhibitions, openings, concerts, Art fairs, Jazz Clubs, lectures, design stores, v isits , o r s im p l y w alki n g a r o u n d N e w Yo r k C i ty streets. B a ck i n Bordeaux, I realize how intense it all was, and what a privilege it was to have culture so easily accessible to anyone interested in it.
