Hi. I'm Jules,
a passionate architect based
in Vienna.
Some of my skills
My creative core competencies lie in conceptual design and storytelling as communication strategy. During my training as design assistant, I acquired professional skills for visual communication and graphic design that enable me to communicate my visions in a fast, clear and convincing way with a high degree of abstraction and conceptual strength.
With a strong demand for creativity and novelty, I further solve architectural problems analytically, with focus on detail and results. In this process, I enjoy the strategic design process, as I am able to analyse complex contexts in a precise and structured way.

Field of interests
In addition to the sociological aspects of architecture, my special interest lies in the exploration and development of the existing, where the friction between old and new represents an enormous creative potential.
With my thesis on the topic of adaptive reuse of disused oil and gas production platforms in the North Sea, I have combined these disciplines and successfully created a profound and award-winning research project.
Currently, I am applying my expertise on the topic of adaptive reuse to the revitalization of a former agricultural farm ensemble on a 25-acre site in the south of Vienna. My responsibility is to examine the existing structure with regard to its cultural value and to provide recommendations for action, which is characterized by a wide variety of approaches at the interface of architecture, interior design, and conservation.
Value based approach
I am convinced that we architects have a collective responsibility for a society worth living in. Creating a socially responsible, ecologically compatible and economically reasonable architecture are therefore my central architectural guiding principles.
I develop projects with a high degree of curiosity and courage in order to create a framework for idealistic ideas. Thereby I am always looking for creative minds and new challenges.
