AD : STAYING INDOORS SAFE IN THIS TWO YEAR PANDEMIC MADE US CONNECT WITH OUR HOMES MORE THAN EVER . HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR PROCESS TO DESIGN A RESIDENCE THAT TRANSFORMS THE LIVING OF THE RESIDENT ?
EMMANUELLE : I am convinced that Architecture influences the way we feel . In one of my other project SPA EVIDENS DE BEAUTE ,
I created a long corridor like an arched tunnel that lead towards light . This creates a transition between the outside world and a very intimate and private space .
AD : WHAT DESIGN IDEOLOGIES YOU THINK YOU WOULD BE EXCITED TO EXPERIMENT WITH THAT YOU THINK MIGHT DEFINE THIS YEAR ?
EMMANUELLE : I think site-specific art ( painted murals , figurative mosaics on the floor , bas-relief ) are becoming more and more important and trendy and I am thinking of integrating it in an upcoming project .
AD : GETTING AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIVE THE OLD-GOLDEN DAYS OF DESIGN , WHAT SPECIFIC DESIGN ELEMENTS YOU THINK HAVE A SHOT IN MAKING STRONG COMEBACK TODAY ?
EMMANUELLE : The dressing table , the bar cabinet , or other objects dedicated to a specific moment that would revive forgotten habits .
