A Canal Saint-Martin Renovation


Paris, 2024 
Canal St. Martin apartment is a renovation project inspired by beauty through Alice Moireau’s eyes.

Her lifestyle and aesthetics brought to life the materials, spatial needs, and functionality of these spaces. Every room was meticulously informed by her life as a Parisian chef, creative, and entrepreneur.

The space’s atmosphere is inviting and cozy. It is full of organic yet classical material, a clash of romantic, soft, and colorful accents that represent her taste.



aNcora Concept


New York, 2023 
aNcora Store is a concept store with a delicate curation of old and new design objects. Within the space lives also the aNcora bistrot, serving breakfast, aperitivo, and dinner. From tableware to chairs, guests can use, consume, and purchase everything across the space.

The space’s atmosphere should be intimate, fun, and inspiring. It is where guests constantly come to find inspiration and new objects for their collection, share a glass of wine with a friend, or try a new delicious but simple dish.


The overall look of the space is inspired by rustic elements combined with a minimal display and natural hues. The objective is to create a neutral, yet organic space that invites objects displayed to rotate and create harmony among them.The inspiration for the general aesthetic comes from modern rustic spaces that incorporate wood elements as their primary material and pair it with organic textures. The base layer of the color palette will be neutral, leaving space and adapting to pops of color from the objects on display.

The shelving for the retail and the kitchen would be built-in either as part of the walls or as mounted wood furniture. A central window skylight will fill the space with natural light.


The Wooden House


New York, 2023 

Organic, symmetrical and minimal —

The concept was to re-create a space whose main elements are inspired by organic, symmetrical and simple shapes.
