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.
TEAM
PARTNERS
Florquin Studio pays particular attention to its network of engineering partners, construction companies and craftsmen, one we’ve been building up meticulously ever since the company was founded. The guiding principle here is that only the best will do. The successful outcome of a project hinges on the fruitful collaboration of people from multiple disciplines. Therefore we have developed a dynamic and effective workflow with our partners. From the outset of each project, we work hand in hand with our partners, taking a critical approach and continuously questioning all assumptions. This allows us tackle problems before they arise and ensure successful delivery.
