I’m a Computational Architect with 8+ years of experience in complex geometry Design-to-Production workflows.
I can’t wait to collaborate with your creative team. Iterating towards sustainability-minded solutions together.
Discover through the following projects my problem-solving skills, construction experience, and scalable automated design processes.

Joined D2P in the digital planning team for complex-geometry architecture projects mainly on the UCB HQ by Heatherwick Studio :
confidential project material
Crafting innovative design for affordable and high-end markets. Leading the architecture department featuring automated drawing packages. Developing Design-to-Production workflows for automated CNC and assembly manufacturing processes.
Developed complex geometry façade systems of Torre Bora, the tallest residential tower in Mexico City with 60k m² of prime apartments & facilities, and joined an invited competition in Seoul, South Korea.
Participated in the design development and drawing packages of a 1 km-long mixed-use complex building façade design and developed competitions.
Three significant projects:
Joined the international team of the free-form façade’s contractor – Kyotec Group – on Morpheus Hotel Tower, the new premier landmark hotel of City of Dreams in Macau designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. It taught me a lot about construction know-how, design stages and the importance of fine detailing – and tolerances! Combining these assets made me well-versed in what came next.
In September 2013, I founded ArchArch.be – the sharing platform for the best architecture students in Belgium. Six architecture faculties joined the movement with more than 250+ projects from first to last year. This online exhibition hall was the only one of its kind with more than 200k page views from 50k single users over 4 years. I saw it as a booster of creativity in architecture school.
In August 2015, I was asked to join the team of researchers at UCL university to design two online platforms becoming focal tools to the architecture workshops Lab-Istanbul & Youyang-Lab.
The production includes a wide range of critical material from before, during and after the visits to Istanbul, Turkey.
Throughout my work, I love to keep records of the construction and model-making process. Enjoy !
Raised in Belgium, with roots in France and Italy, I studied architecture in Brussels and Montreal and learned about architectonics and construction methods, especially with timber.
I then discovered the fascinating world of computational design while researching on my awarded master thesis on ‘Responsive Envelope in Architecture’.
Hungry for more, I moved to Hong Kong to learn from the best. I joined the construction site of Zaha Hadid Architect’s Morpheus Hotel façade systems with Kyotec Group.
Bolstered by this experience, I could further develop complex geometry projects at the Laboratory for Explorative Architecture & Design (LEAD) in Hong Kong and at Zaha Hadid Architects in London, UK.
I then joined Citra in Cape Town, South Africa to help them scale their green building method with automated Design-to-Production processes that tackle large-scale housing developments.
Following this incredible opportunity, I moved to Zürich where I developed Santiago Calatrava‘s many design iterations for large office buildings, galleries, train stations, and statues projects. Thrilling learnings from a genuine geometry genius where computational design and BIM are at their best.
A dream for a while, I started at Design-to-Production in Zürich, developing complex geometry 3D details for timber construction — Using top-notch Python libraries to digest large models into the smallest parts, ready for fabrication.
Now based in the quaint Vallée de Joux (Vaud, Switzerland), I am back at Citra to enhance the Design-to-Production workflow from advanced BIM Revit families to a Citra Revit Plug-in linked to a decentralized UI for the fabrication unit.
I also consult for Implenia Switzerland on major Façade project developments using Parametric Design tools, Scripting, and Power BI for analytics display to stakeholders.
In my spare time, I enjoy discovering wild and remote places, educating people about a greener lifestyle, sailing, and kitesurfing.
Today, after 9 years of growing experience, I am eager to discuss any Design-to-Production and/or BIM topics to create meaningful solutions.
