Professional experience:
I live in Brussels since 1994 and I have had the opportunity to work in various architectural cabinets in Brussels, where I have been dealing with works of architecture, interiors and graphics for:
- Cabinet of Architecture A.2R.C
- Cabinet of architect V. Delfosse
- Cabinet of architecture Beublet–De Laet
- Cabinet of architecture Atelier d’Art Urbain
- Cabinet of architecture Archi+i

I have participated to many architectural contests, such as the one for the CIVA in Brussels
I have organised various exhibitions at the “Fondation pour l’Architecture” in Brussels”

I have also worked at the European Commission in the Directorate-General for Education and Culture, for the assessment of projects in the field of restoration

Since 2002 I have followed training on sustainable architecture, with masters, “colloques” and seminars

Today, with my own cabinet, I realise various renovation projects, in Brussels and neighbouring communes.

Architectural approach:
My work, dealing with renovation of houses and dwellings, is marked by the respect of the architectural quality and the style of the buildings.

Among the essential elements of renovation, I pay specific attention to details, and to the use of new materials. All this, integrated into a contemporary architectural expression characterised by the widening of the space.
