Started my career as an architect and have grown in the interior architecture and design field. I enjoy developing spaces that simply feel good, with a strong focus on functional and user-centred layouts while being attentive to concept implementation and detail. Efficiency and methodical systems inspire me through the various phases of creation and project development. Working independently or in teams, exploring new tools and forever learning news ways of architecture keeps me engaged in this all-round stimulating field :)

“Ow, she's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty, just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick house”

In an isolated area of the building, the cantine’s concept focus on bringing a bright and natural calming ambiance – a smooth dialogue between interior and exterior.
For this dialogue we conceived a warm and earthy scheme, with an interior cased with terracotta bricks that subtly play back and forth while enhancing the green touches of the surrounding landscape, interior plants and the custom green design elements (a curved metal bench and high table).
