Renowned for his rigorous approach to architectural detailing, expertise in BIM methodologies and ability to coordinate complex projects, he combines strong technical skills with high architectural standards. His work focuses on creating coherent, high-performing and high-quality environments for an international clientele across the corporate, hospitality and commercial sectors.

Originally from Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Raoul studied at the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning before obtaining a Master's degree in the Restoration and Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings from KU Leuven in Belgium, followed by a PhD in Architecture from the Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest. A registered architect with the Île-de-France Regional Council of the French Order of Architects, he has developed a practice shaped by both an international architectural culture and an in-depth understanding of the French regulatory and professional environment.

For several years, Raoul has collaborated with Bush & Associates, where he oversees architectural design development, BIM services and visual communication for large-scale programmes. His recent projects include several major corporate developments for Omnicom in Paris, combining strategic thinking, architectural design and advanced BIM implementation. Previously, as Managing Director, he supervised a range of hospitality and corporate projects, including the Citadines Paris hotel for the Ascott Group, surveying and architectural coordination for JP Morgan's offices on Place Vendôme, HP's headquarters in Meudon, as well as several commercial spaces for private clients.

Throughout his professional career, Raoul has held a number of senior positions in France. At Atelier 11 in Boulogne-Billancourt, he led BIM development, design teams and construction documentation, notably for the development of a 3,800 m² nursing home in Laval. He also worked on the architectural design and development of projects for Palantir and Primark in several French cities, while spending several years in Paris working on interior architecture, furniture design and construction documentation projects. He began his career in France working on the restoration and rehabilitation of historic buildings in Rennes.

Throughout his career, Raoul has developed an approach combining technical rigour, mastery of digital tools and contemporary architectural sensitivity. His experience covers hospitality projects, workplace environments, commercial spaces and high-end residential developments. It is supported by strong BIM expertise, extensive experience in project design and coordination, and a collaborative approach tailored to the specific challenges and requirements of each programme.
