Design Conception

I support professionals wishing to incorporate bamboo into their projects from the creative phase: from the development of mood boards, to sketches, through preliminary projects and 3D modeling. With my particular sensitivity to bamboo and the visual universe I have shaped over the years, I strive to create poetic and timeless works, free from the tropical and colonial clichés often associated with bamboo.

Technical Design

I study the technical feasibility of bamboo projects. My work consists of defining the construction principles and writing the technical specifications. I can also take charge of the realization of 3D models and/or execution plans for bamboo lots. I solicit engineering firms for complementary expertise and carry out budget estimates to ensure the financial viability of projects.

Sourcing & Prototyping

I advise specifiers in selecting quality bamboo materials and the most appropriate specialized artisans for each project. I provide detailed information on the origin of the products as well as the ecological footprint of each proposed solution. Finally, I offer prototypes and personalized samples to help clients make decisions.

Industry Consulting

With expertise developed over the years and an extensive global network, I can assist individuals interested in the bamboo industry in analyzing their projects, researching information and solutions, and choosing the right partners.

Training / Workshops / Conferences

Passionate about bamboo, I am eager to share my knowledge of this fascinating plant and raise awareness among a wide audience about its multiple applications in architecture and design.
