Experience at Scale

I am an architect by training and a crafter by nature. Over the past 15 years, driven by sincere curiosity, I have explored the architectural representation from various angles and at different scales through my practice. This diverse experience has equipped me with a sensibility to understand design and the precision required in the realization of models.

In the last 10 years of practice in Switzerland I have worked with a variety of materials and techniques, finding the most appropriate medium for each project to ensure the highest level of detail and accuracy.
