Hélène Morvant

In Toulouse, in the southwest of France
Education
Master of Interior Architecture and Global Design 2013 / Cread Institute, Lyon, France
Why Measured?
I align with Measured in their modern style and people-focused approach. It’s exciting getting to work closely with clients and experiment with new materials and designs, and I appreciate how versatile and forward-thinking the firm is.
Projects I’m proud of
Designing the Swiss Embassy in Tunisia was a great learning experience, as our team had to adapt to a new country’s aesthetic while keeping aligned with the Swiss Confederating.
Preferred era in architecture
The Now. I learn from the past to build environmentally-friendly architecture in the present.
Materials that excite me
Wood. It’s warm, authentic and never disappoints.
I chose Vancouver because
I love the ocean and wanted the opportunity to be outdoors.
When I’m not working you can find me
Exploring the Pacific Northwest or participating in sports (snowboarding, climbing and surfing to name a few!).
Ball point or felt tip?
It depends on my mood. These days it’s ultra-fine ball point for finesse and precision.
Go-to unit of measurement
Metric System. Always.
I’m surprisingly good at
Baking crêpes!
At happy hour I order
A glass of red wine.
Go-to morning drink
Lemon water to start the day fresh.
