ABOUT
Design.
People.
Execution.
As a registered architect, I combine a designer’s eye with the experience of leading projects from the client’s side.
My career has taken me between France and Asia: Ateliers Jean Nouvel, my own practice Chambaud Singer & Cie, then twenty years with Louis Vuitton. There, I led architectural design in Asia and store planning across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Today, through SamSinger Architect, I work with brands, design practices and clients to shape and deliver their projects. I enjoy drawing, exploring materials and details, building a team and following a project through construction.
