“Not to dare is to have already lost. One should seek out ambitious, even unrealistic projects, because things only happen when one dreams” - Andrée Putman

This statement well conveys Véronique's vision of design. She likes to challenge frameworks with a slight touch of craziness. Always being mindful of space history and imperfections and turning them into unexpected opportunities.

Water has always been an obsession. It has followed her in her previous projects as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Reflection, horizon, materiality, energy, depth, rhythm, immensity... This is surely due to a childhood spent exploring the seas. Naturally, she tackled the subject of excess of water at Royal College of Art. Ironically, the old factory in Woolwich, for which the project was created, is not protected by the Thames barrier and is only one kilometre away. It was an opportunity for her to work on the subject of rising water levels, where architecture, but above all interior design, must be questioned in depth. It is not a question of creating floating cities, but of adapting existing buildings to periods of flooding. An exciting challenge to take on.
