JOSHUA FLORQUIN

(Gent, 1984)

Joshua found his practice to explore architecture as an art form as well as a social discipline

Joshua studied architecture at the St Lucas school of Architecture in Ghent, Belgium. In 2006, he moved to Rome to pursue a master’s degree at the Università degli studi Roma Tre Architettura. After graduating with distinction in 2008, he started his professional career in Paris, working for a number of renowned architecture practices.

In 2014, Joshua found his own practice in Paris with a focus towards interior design and residential projects. He successfully ventured into retail design, workspace development, educational projects and garden design, not only in France, but also in Germany and Belgium.

Joshua’s style has been influenced by his wide-ranging interests spanning painting, sculpture, music and literature, all of which keep him continuously curious and inspired. As a consequence, the spaces he designs and creates are characterized by scenic perspectives and sculptural geometry, wood often being an essential element. A deeply rooted fondness of and respect for nature fuel his critical architectural approach: he is keenly aware of the social and environmental difficulties we are all facing and how they are linked to our ambitions. This is a key driver of Joshua’s work.
