As principal architect of MANUELLE GAUTRAND ARCHITECTURE, she designs and builds buildings in fields as varied as cultural facilities, offices, housing, commercial facilities, hotels, etc. To date, her agency has delivered about 30 buildings, all of which have been noticed, published, and very often awarded.
