With a multidisciplinary background in applied arts, Christopher approaches architecture as an open and porous discipline — at the crossroads of design, visual arts, publishing, and scenography. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Versailles, after an exchange year at the Faculty of Environmental Design at the University of Montreal, his practice is constantly nourished by experimentation and encounters.
In 2015, he founded Pli, a magazine dedicated to architecture and publishing, which ran until 2020. Over six issues, he explored the intersection of design and editorial work before launching, in 2019, the Pli Public Workshop, a support program for emerging practices in architecture and design. For one year, he also worked as an architect and exhibition production manager at Villa Noailles in Hyères.
As chief curator of the 4th Biennale of the Network of Architecture Houses, he continues to explore architecture as a transversal practice — one that thrives on overlaps, digressions, and endless connections.
In parallel, Christopher founded Paf atelier in 2018 — a creative studio focused on designing architecture and scenography at multiple scales: spatial design, stage devices, and furniture creation. For the past five years, the studio has grown through sensitive experimentation and creative obsessions, continuously moving between architecture, design, and art.
In 2025, he opens his first studio-home: a house where he lives and creates on his own terms, in the company of designers and architects. In 2024, he also relaunches Pli office as an independent publishing house, releasing a new magazine under this renewed structure: JTM.
