Metal

“The first metal elements I used were simply necessary for installing outdoor furniture. Later, I wanted to fully explore this material, considering it to be infinitely recyclable and therefore highly environmentally friendly, which is an essential criterion for me. From Corten steel, which is capable of self-protection, to galvanized steel, copper, and zinc, the range of possibilities is extremely vast, and each of these materials offers very specific properties.”

Wide garden steps structured with oak sleepers, combined with gabions. The photograph shows the descent from the designer entrance gate—made of wood and metal—of the garden. The construction is set in a large garden, initially very steep and arranged in terraces, to enhance the view of the Pyrenees.

Hanging Garden

Set on a steeply sloping plot with a breathtaking view of the Pyrenees, Le Jardin de Carla is a topographical challenge transformed into a contemporary recreational space. Balancing extreme constraints with the enhancement of the landscape, it combines a summer house, a swimming pool, wooden terraces, and understated, modern landscaping.

Welcome panel for the Niaux Cave, conceived as an attractive design support in material coherence with Massimiliano Fuksas's arch, which monumentally marks the Cave entrance. The panel, intended to display essential information prior to visiting the site, is a large square composed of Corten steel "scales" whose forms and assembly symbolize both the mechanism of a mechanical camera shutter, like a snapshot zooming into the past, and a metaphor for the cavern descending into the depths of earth and time.

Niaux Cave

Located at the entrance to the Niaux Cave, classified as a Historic Monument since 1911, this welcome panel is an extension of the monumental Corten steel work designed by architect Massimiliano Fuksas, which marks the site with a modern imprint while spectacularly enhancing it. My design, using the same material language, sought its own identity through a subtle interplay rooted in respect, coherence, and complementarity, to create signage that is understated yet original, evoking the depth of the cave into which visitors are about to enter.

Ariège Departmental Ecogolf

The Ariège departmental golf course, located in Unjat, opted to make a radical change in its management of the grounds to become an “ecogolf”. On this occasion, I was consulted to create a set of signage that had to meet both a sustainable development objective and the creation of a new design identity befitting the prestige of a nationally recognized golf course.
