MATHILDE

PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL

I have been a freelance architect since 2020. I have experience in architecture, interior design and project management. I collaborated with Neybor Services that creates both shared co-living spaces and fully furnished private apartments in Brussels. Before that, I participated in competition La Royale Belge with Stéphanie Parein who gave me the desire to design pure and colorful interiors.​ I have a certain interest in the re.use of materials that she developed during her 6 month internship at Rotor that dismantle, process and trade salvaged building components.

Collaboration with firms & private clients

Architect decorator & project manager

Neybor Services, Brussels

Neybor is a co-living operating across Brussels, they re-imagine and transform spaces in existing structures to elevate the standard of living in cities. With a dual role as architect and project manager, I completed six construction projects for them - projects ranging from 250 to 700 m². I was responsible for preliminary designs, implementation files, and site supervision (team coordination, delivery planning, and logistics monitoring). My goal was to transform obsolete, old buildings into sensitive and comfortable ready-made homes.​​

​

Interior designer for "la Royale Belge" competition

SPIN, Brussels

Stéphanie Pareinan interior designer, requested me to work with her for a competition concerning the realization of a hotel in the brutalist building of Staples and Dufau. I was responsible for the spatial planning of the project. My role was to develop creative concepts in which I had to integrate the interior strategy and identity of Stephanie. She taught me to look beyond technical rules and to focus more on atmosphere, emotion, and the user experience.

​

Design assistant

Rotor DB, Brussels​

Rotor is a cooperative design practice that investigates the organisation of the material environment. I worked on the organisation of the reuse of materials in the Usquare project, the conversion of the former Gendarmerie barracks in Brussels, a 40,000 m² site operated since 1906. This internship gave me an early sensitivity to materials, construction logic, and the life cycle of building components.
