The goal of architect and designer Valérie Chomarat is simple: ‘to create a beautiful way of living’. From Geneva, where she lives, to Menorca, Bandol and Warsaw, her projects for villas, fincas, chalets and yachts are defined by her own particular vision of minimalism and by her characteristically sensitive integration of architecture and environment. ‘What do we see and how do we see it?’ These are the questions with which she interrogates every aperture in the spaces she creates, reflecting the importance of ideas of perspective, threshold and connection in her work, as well as the influence of her childhood in the Ardèche, where she grew up. After nearly a decade of working in the Pawson studio, Valerie moved to Switzerland, where she swiftly developed her own business and honed her style, collaborating with Hermès as artistic designer on some projects.
