Tell us about some of your works, and name the one you are most proud of.
I have been working on renovation projects in Paris, rehabilitation villas in Greece, interior design for the Shanghai Yacht Club and on a design renovation for a villa in the former French Concession of Shanghai.
Very recently, along with my dad Jean-Pierre, we launched the book “Symbolism in Architecture Design,” published by Visual Profile Books in New York.
This book opens a panoramic window onto the imaginative world of award-winning firm, showcasing private residences, corporate offices, retail stores, restaurants, hotels and showrooms.
Describe your design style.
My design style is about elegance and functionality. I pay special attention to detail and realism. In this case, I don’t only present myself as an architect but also as an interior designer and stylist.
What does your home mean to you?
My vision of home is like a well-being cocoon that reflects your image and lifestyle.
What do you collect?
As a designer, I am inspired by my travels and encounters, so I like to collect photos and sketches, through which I create trends.
Where would you like to go most in Shanghai?
I like to visit local neighborhoods in Shanghai. I am interested in studying those areas which have an intense historical architecture style. Every time I go there I can’t help but enrich my curiosity.
What will be the next big design trend?
A contemporary design with elegance and harmony.
