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 :)

Located behind the iconic ‘crown of glass and blue stone’ Glaverbel Building, we find the cubed annex where the cantine for the workers is. 
The aim focused on searching the identity for this space. Consciously, we perpetuated the shiny and reflective materials as the central feature in the design process. 
The counter is the key element to stage the food and the human interaction covered by a floating mirrored leaf. Clear layout, circulation and a minimal design approach based on the colours, materials of the main building create this food-sharing space.
