Clément Lesnoff-Rocard founded his Paris practice in 2017, developing architecture that is rooted in a palpable spatial and sensorial experience. He takes a radical, narrative approach to each new project in order to reveal its very substance.

Clément Lesnoff-Rocard made a name for himself with his project The Island, in the La Défense business district of Paris, a house designed as a refuge from the hubbub of the city. In its harmonious volumes and perfect proportions, the architect initiates a sort of dreamscape. Each element contributes to the metaphor – the long concrete sofa becomes a sandy beach, the bookcase a cliff to be climbed, the large window frames the sky, with its dawns and dusks. Published widely in the international press, the project was a springboard for the young architect, who was subsequently entrusted with major projects, such as LVMH Métiers d’art’s La Main, dedicated to skilled craftsmanship. Clément Lesnoff-Rocard conducted the transformation of this iconic building in the Bourse district of central Paris, with its impressive industrial structure and glass roof. The contemporary setting, majestic and open, a temple to craftsmanship and creativity, demonstrates his ability to breathe fresh life into a historic building while opening up new avenues.
