Listening to her speak, you almost believe you are in this poetic seaside cottage, facing the Île de Ré, which she is expanding. Or in this small Parisian apartment in which she must redouble her inventiveness to “multiply functions in a small space, expand a wall to slide something behind it”. “What I like about my jobexplains the thirty-year-old, it’s understanding the uses, the volumes, the proportions. I must be able to embody the intimacy of the clients who entrust it to me.”
If his training as an architect helps him imagine ultra-structured interiorsshe also appreciates material and color as a way of playing with perspectives. “In my agency, it’s blue from floor to ceiling, so much so that you feel like you’re in the sky. Color always says something.” A few steps that separate the bed from the sofa are sometimes enough to shape the space to give the impression of a separate bedroom and living room.

After experiences at Jean-Paul Viguier, then at Winston Shu in Hong Kong – where she notably designed all-white and very square Apple Stores -, the launch of this graduate of the Paris-Malaquais school – of first under the name ofSteve Workshopthen more assumedPauline Borgia Workshop quite recently – was done with the desire to always be surprised. “I m 35 years old. I don’t know where I will be in ten years, I let myself be carried away by the projects.” If anyone is looking for an archi for a hotel in Corsica, offer it to them, they dream of it!
