About Me

I believe that what defines me best is insatiable curiosity and overflowing enthusiasm.

I like to learn, to teach, to discover new fields of research,
to meet people and to generate other unlikely encounters between them.

Father of two children, Clara, 23, and Nathan 20 years old.
My family consists of seven different origins and this characteristic makes me adapt extremely easily.

My background began with architectural studies at ISAVH in Brussels.
After a fairly classical course as an architect,
I met and worked in the collective TOTEM
consisting of illustrator, graphic designers, art directors, designers, architects.
Our model was Pentagram, the London multi-disciplinary collective.
It was here that I discovered the richness of different disciplines and the synergies that this entails.
At that time we worked on book publishing, communication and advertising.
We were also chosen to be the artistic director of Tintin's latest album
and all the merchendising of the Hergé studios.

When the collective stopped, I started my architecture studio and practiced for more than 25 years.
We worked on multiple scales: Urban, building, interiors, commercial architecture, scenography, object design.

In parallel with my office, I decided to develop one of my passions: photography.
Seven-year period, some exhibitions, books, orders. A work mainly on and around the city.
