Biography

As a co-founding partner of Studio Egret West, Christophe has the privilege of nurturing and galvanising the pursuit of passion of a large group of talented creatives. As if that was not fulfilment enough, Christophe also loves discovering the qualities of places and buildings through painting and drawing and sharing this visual communication with colleagues and clients, testing through these the design principles that SEW establish on every project. This is a skill Christophe learnt and cultivated while working with Will Alsop when he completed, amongst other projects, the Peckham Library, winner of the Stirling Prize in 2000.

When Christophe set up Studio Egret West back in 2004, he and David West had an ambition to re-unite urban design and architecture. This has led them to a path that is less concerned with aesthetics for their own sake, and more so with the qualities of place. Be it as an experience of social cohesion or memorable spaces that lift the spirit.
