About Raphaël

Are you looking for a hybrid expert who can bridge the gap between high-end architectural design and cutting-edge engineering?

I am a trilingual Engineer-Architect (FR, EN, ES) with over 11 years of experience in managing complex and large-scale projects, from conception to delivery. I specialize in BIM Management, parametric modeling, and project coordination for high-stakes endeavors.

My core expertise:
  • Design & Construction: Execution of bespoke luxury residential projects. Ensuring perfect buildability through rigorous synthesis (all trades).
  • BIM & Automation: Deployment of BIM strategies (Revit), development of NO-CODE tools, and use of generative design to optimize workflows.
  • R&D & Industrialization: Pioneer in low-carbon housing, DfMA (Design for Manufacturing and Assembly), and modular systems.

Whether you need premium architectural design, advanced BIM coordination, or strategic advice to automate your firm's processes, I bring precision and innovation. Let's build your vision together!
