From Dallas to Seoul, via Moscow, Dakar and São Paulo, Jean-Michel Wilmotte and his teams have been travelling the world for more than 45 years, placing people, their cultures and their stories at the heart of their creations wherever they work.
Whatever the project, from the simplest to the most spectacular, they take an approach that is both innovative and responsible, paying particular attention to materials, light, finishes and greenery, always respecting the site and its history.
