It associates a balanced combination of digitally conducted archi projects and manual work in atelier with a touch of vintage look. Plenty designs have been succefully accomplished, others are worked on right now and many more are on their way.

FRIE design
ENSAV La Cambre Master Diploma Project Brussels, Belgium 2014
The FRIE Project (FINDING REFUGE IN EXTREME) is a complete research on new housing solutions for extreme sites. The final design is a kit containing components necessary to create a permanent bivouac adapted to cold temperatures. It may shelter up to 5 people and once put together, it stays in chosen location.
The main idea is to protect the untouched mountain’s environnement. Thanks to this ultra-lightweight kit which can be transported in backpacks, alpinist are given back all the responsibility to construct in mountains. They can freely choose the site, carry on the materials and assemble the new shelter where necessary without need of helicopters or other heavy interventions.

The whole structure can be disassembled into components that are efficiently packed in 5 backpacks; none of them exceeding 50 kg. In addition, the structure remains flexible and allows infinite number of different completions according to the requirements of the actual environment in which the shelter is being constructed.
Each component of the external membrane fit to the others by the “tongues and grooves� key.
GEODESIC GEOMETRIES WORKSHOP EASA Symbioza, www.symbioza.bg Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria 2014
EASA (European Architecture Students Assembly) is a platform for cultural and education exchange, connecting architecture students and professionals from all around Europe. EASA 2014 was held in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, with 25 accomplished workshops. « GEODESIC GEOMETRIES » workshop was tutored by Luca Stasi from CTRL-Z, the reversible architecture’s studio(www.control-zeta.org). A group of 13 builders learned how to construct a 50m and 4m high sustainable wooden dome, which is now used as a shelter for yoga classes and covers a bulgarian thermal spring source.
ROOSE ARCHITECTS interior architecture INTERNSHIP Rue Jean d’Ardenne 14 , Brussels, Belgium http://www.roose.be/ 2013
Lobby of the new Student Residence in Brussels
ROOSE & Partners Architects developped a project of luxurious student Residence, first and unique of its kind in Brussels. The main idea was to design high quality and comfortable, completely custom-made spaces. Special attention was drawn to the main entrance lobby with huge wall library. The final 2D drawings in AutoCAD and visuals in Artlantis ave been accepted by the client and then realised in local carpentry atelier.
LABEL ARCHITECTURE 3D&2D VISUALIZATION INTERNSHIP Rue d’Andenne 1 , Brussels, Belgium http://www.labelarchitecture.be/ 2012
Extension of a family residence in Ottignies
LABEL Architecture is young multidisciplinary studio. Architects work side by side with graphic designers and video makers. In this plentiful environnement, we’ve been working on two projects, an extension of a traditional belgian residence and renovation of an elementary school in Mollines. My contribution to the team was partly technical (3D and 2D AutoCAD models) and partly graphic (visuals in Photoshop and html broadcast on LabelArchitecture’s website.)
LES VITRINES DU GRAND SABLON URBAN DESIGN consultants: E.Levy & J.Khanafer ENSAV La Cambre, Brussels, Belgium 2013
Le Grand Sablon is a very unique place. It is one of the few luxurious commercial zones in Brussels and at the same time situated very close to the art museums quarter. However, almost 80% of its surface is now used as a parking. Re-design of Grand Sablon creates a new cultural and artistic hub of the city. The place becomes pedestrian, with unified flooring and integrated ground lighting. It is equiped with showcases, available to be rent by museums, artists or neighboring merchants.
JONCTION ‘‘DIY’’ URBAN DESIGN consultants: E.Levy & J.Khanafer ENSAV La Cambre, Brussels, Belgium 2011
URBAN DIY SOLUTION FOR LA CHAPPELLE NEUGHBOROOD Between two Brussel’s train stations «North» and «South», 6 railway lanes lead through the heart of the city, called the North-South Jonction. An undeniable engineering prowess, but also a real trauma for the city and its habitants. Many streets as well as houses and entire neighborhoods have been destroyed in order to construct the pathways of Jonction in 1952.
The JONCTION DIY project attempts to overcome Jonction’s undesirable consequences by applying small low-budget interventions. Citizens of «La Chapelle» neighborhood are often unable to walk normally because of the unsuitably designed central berms and they are regularly disturbed by jammed cars. Jonction DIY project proposes to create a promenade ending up in a wooden amphitheater in front of the existing skatepark which will unify the public space and thus favor the pedestrians.
JONCTION ‘‘LIQUID’’ URBAN DESIGN consultants: E.Levy & J.Khanafer ENSAV La Cambre, Brussels, Belgium 2012
URBAN PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR LA CHAPPELLE NEUGHBOROOD The second phase of the North-South Jonction project provides a real long-term solution to the Brussel’s neighborhood problematics. The area will get a new identity, its unified space will be freely invested by various users: families, skaters or tourists...The use of modern materials and techniques allow to liquify the zone and readjust all the surfaces to the same level. Urban furniture is literally coming «out of the ground».
ARS MUSICA SCENOGRAPHY Contemporary music Festival Brussels, Belgium 2011
With only 24 hours on-site work and a reduced budget, we realized a cotton thread structure decorating the main concert hall of Ars Musica festival held in Brussels in 2011.
INTERNI SENZA ESTERNI interior architecture & design Consultants: A.Branzi & M.De Lucchi Politecnico di Milano, Milan, ItalyBrussels, Belgium 2013
GOING BACK TO THE ROOTS WITH ANDREA BRANZI AND MICHELLE DE LUCCHI
The 21st century society needs new topics for its design culture. The central theme of Laboratory of interior design by Andrea Branzi and Michelle De Lucchi was about going back to the roots. «INTERNI SENZA ESTERNI» is a research of new «dramaturgy» for the interior design. It represents the idea of spaces that do not have any external part and who develop inside of the interconnected shells. The result of this research is a three-dimensional simulation of a city. Its interior spaces are deeply narrative opposed to the market’s globalization and circulation in the outer world.

CHAI(R)N FURNITURE DESIGN consulant: Alain Berteau Brussels, Belgium 2012
The nature is an endless source of inspiration. That’s an irrefutable fact. The human back-bone interlocking system served us as a technique to design an unique longchair.
Chai-r-n proposes four different arrangements, each of them offering a various way of sitting or lying. Every position is ensured through blockades that are created between the strong wood-polymer panels.
LIGHT ESCAPE LIGHT DESIGN consultant: Nathalie Dewez ENSAV La Cambre, Brussels, Belgium 2011
Dispute between light and dark. Spiral-shaped form, made entirely in plaster. Unique and very fragile, just as the limit between dusk and day.
