Gabriel is a French architect. He studied architecture at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and ENSA Paris La Villette, where he graduated with honors in research in 2015. He gained experience at several architecture firms, including Atelier Bow-Wow, LAN, and Philippe Rizzotti Architect, before working on independent projects with Axel Cornu. In 2018, the two co-founded COVE, an architecture studio dedicated to the thoughtful transformation of existing structures.COVE adopts a sensitive, site-specific approach to rehabilitation, aiming to create renovations that resonate with contemporary needs while honoring the architectural heritage of each site. Their work is grounded in the idea that existing buildings can serve as a foundation for meaningful and innovative design. This approach encourages the exploration of unconventional materials, chosen not only for their technical qualities but also for their expressive potential. These distinctive resources often demand unique craftsmanship. By collaborating closely with skilled artisans, COVE ensures that these singular elements are seamlessly integrated, resulting in enduring, contextually rich interventions.
