ROOM atelier d’architecture
was established in early 2020 by Emmanuelle Raoul-Duval (1984).
It is an architectural practice conceived of in Los Angeles  and based in Paris.

With strong ties and experiences in both Los Angeles and Paris, ROOM aspires to continues building its transcontinental body of knowledge and practice. It looks to the vast array of territories and landscapes that these cities evoke, and searches for an equally plural response.  
As an architectural practice, which at base is about producing space and making room, ROOM projects the built object in a variety of formats - be that a booklet or a building.

The primary material of ROOM’s practice is the project, and it begins with the territory. Each project has its own history, forms of representation, and ambitions, but the main motivation is to materialize links with its context and real environment.
Otherwise said, ROOM is less interested in taking position on “what Architecture is” but rather building a scenario that responds to an actual context – landscapes, people, situations. It means entering into a dialog that is different for each project, based on a close reading of history and pre-existing conditions. 

ROOM takes an editorial approach to architecture.
It thinks with the “version” rather than the original – that is, vocabulary comes with the conversion and transformation of what already exists. It searches for a methodology that is both fed by the territory itself and ROOM’s material excess. These materials might not fit under the category of built objects but nonetheless contribute to ROOM as a project. They install larger pathways and research trajectories that can then feed back into the architectural practice itself.
Namely, ROOM is interested in questioning anthropocentric design, human body, and scale. It asks: What should be the scale of design that addresses today’s environmental challenges?

Playing itself between disciplines and by projects, ROOM aims to work in collaboration


And after all, with that said, ROOM takes its name from Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own. <3

--- NEWS --- 

Beside her upcoming built projects,  ROOM is currently collaborating with Jacques-Marie Ligot on the figure of the ‘Monstrum’,  suggesting a focus on so-called monstrous architecture, understood as deviating from the norm over time, while also exploring the notion of monstration.  This involves observing certain reparative practices, symbolic displacements, and thinking of architectural intervention as a prosthesis on a body undergoing transformation. This work in progress was presented  in the form of a series of 10 lectures this fall/winter at ENSA Paris-Est, followed by a publication.

About —


 Emmanuelle Raoul-Duval is a french architect who is building and teaching. She graduated from ENSA Paris-Belleville (FR) and received her HMONP in 2010. For seven years she worked at the Bureau des Paysages, office of Alexandre Chemetoff, an interdisciplinary architectural practice rooted in the territory and its different scales. After following a large-scale project in Paris 10e as a project manager (91 apartments, nursery school and businesses), her continued interest in wood construction motivated her to spend three years at Standard Architecture in Los Angeles. Here, shifting her relation to scale by focusing on the structure and materiality of the individual home. While in L.A., Raoul-Duval also took part in exhibitions and installations at Studio 106 L.A. (Santa Monica) and Human Resources. She also participated in juries, publications, and workshops at UCLA Architecture and Urban Design, USC School of Architecture, and SCI-Arc Institute of Architecture.

Upon her return to Paris in 2020, Raoul-Duval founded ROOM atelier d’architecture focusing on domestic-scale projects and building upon a methodology of taking into account what is there, valorising rural/urban heritage, and learning from the history and transformation of the territories. She teaches at ENSA Paris-Est since 2020, leads a Master studio at Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture (Paris) since 2024, and recently got appointed Master Progam Director there. She is a french member for the 2023-2026 term of the International Competitions Commission at UIA / UNESCO. She also serves as an independent contractor for Frida Escobedo Studio. 
In her work, that be built or unbuilt, architecture, culture and politics are entwined.
