Emotions et pragmatisme

Welcome to my world

I’m a cosmopolitan architect with a rich cultural mix linked to Italy, Japan, France and Belgium. Curious about life, I am always happy to help others achieve their objectives. I like people who look for common goods, who like to share, have fun and are open to see those magic moments that sometimes life offer us out of ordinary daily routine.

No matter what happens, it is how we perceive life that counts.

I’m a cosmopolitan architect with a rich cultural mix linked to Italy (where I grew up), Japan (where I did my PhD and worked with Kengo Kuma), France (where I live today with my family and direct my own office and also where I worked at CNRS and co-directed Laps Architecture office) and Belgium (where I teach at Université Libre de Bruxelles). Curious about life, I am always happy to help others achieve their objectives. I like people who look for common goods, who like to share, have fun and are open to see those magic moments that sometimes life offer us out of ordinary daily routine. I love both frugality and excesses: things with a soul.
