‘’I am the daughter of a designer/architect and a mathematician.
Between both of them, I chose architecture’’
Anne-Cecille felt that design and architecture was her calling.
Anne-Cécille thinks that there’s a lot of distance between Interior
Architecture and, let’s say, conventional architecture. As a marriage
counsellor, Atelier du Pont works on reconciliation a troublesome
relationship on two branches that are very close to one another. For
Anne- Cecile, there was no other path to be chosen. The architecture
was truly her calling. Her work completely transcends the notions on
the industry. She frees herself of any paradigms attached to architecture
and design, thus allowing her on accomplishing the remarkable works
she used the world to.
‘’They complete themselves, architecture and interior architecture/
design. In France, both universes are wrongfully apart, and we work
towards unifying both of them.’’
Anne-Cécile believes Atelier du Pont works the same way as their peers.
What differences them from their esteemed counterparts is the scale
of their works. Atelier du Pont’s thorough attention to every single
detail and technicality, the materials used in the projects, their own
ingenious way of working. The fact that Anne-Cécile and her team
transports the materials used in exterior architecture onwards interiors
makes the Atelier distance itself from the remaining honourable ones.
‘’What interests us is the reconciliation between these two universes.
A global Design, per se.’’
Anne-Cécile describes Atelier du Pont’s concept as an intelligent one. A
concept that respects the surroundings of the project, nature, and the
overall feeling that the people using the space will feel. An intelligent
way of designing. Getting the job done without stepping on any toes.
They say the apple never falls off far from the tree,
and Anne-Cécile’s the living proof of it. Daughter of a
designer and of a mathematician, Anne-Cécile fell in
love with the purest symbioses of both: architecture.
Twenty years ago, alongside Phillipe Croisier, she
began the joyride that is Atelier du Pont’s work. The
then tiny atelier who designed bathrooms become
one of France’s most prominent architecture and
interior design studios who are responsible for quite
outstanding work.
