"What I found behind the walls of the former officers' dormitory did not at all match the dignified exterior of the palatial building. The task was to breathe new character into an aging building."

Guided by the spirit of Émile Zola, the French writer who gave naturalism its voice, I translated literary truth into architectural surfaces. Naturalism became the compass: honest, tactile, unembellished. The walls would not disguise themselves, they would embody decay and renewal at once.
