Philippe Prost

Managing Director, Partner
Self-Taught
Member of the Academy of Architecture

Her career path is anything but conventional. After studying biology, she joined the French Institute of Architecture in 1982 before moving on to the Regional Council of the Order of Architects. Her deep interest in and curiosity about architecture have been instrumental in shaping her professional development and remain among her greatest strengths.

Working alongside researchers and practitioners—who consistently encouraged her to expand her knowledge—has enabled her to grow within the field while maintaining a continually renewed passion for the discipline. Since the founding of the studio, she has worked closely with Philippe Prost on its projects and has brought together a diverse range of talents that contribute to the richness of the practice.

Driven by a strong sense of commitment, she promotes increasingly responsible ways of working, fostering collaborations with craftspeople and artists. Since 1994, she has coordinated the Academy of Architecture’s Architecture Book Prize and serves as a jury member for the Youth Architecture Book Prize.

A graduate of ENSA Paris-Belleville, with a focus on interventions within existing built environments, and holding a DEA in History of Architecture from Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne focused on the 18th century, he joined the studio in 2003 and became a partner in 2019.

From an early stage, he has overseen a wide range of projects across different typologies and scales, including the restoration of the Château d’Autry-le-Châtel, the conversion of a thermal power plant into a cultural centre, as well as both new-build and refurbishment housing developments, and the Métalmorphoses project at the Monnaie de Paris.

More recently, he delivered the Hôtel Richer de Belleval in Montpellier, which combines a restaurant, hotel, and art foundation, as well as the Collège Henri IV in Poitiers.
