Pauline studied at the Lyon School of Architecture (ENSAL) in France, where she received her Bachelor and Master degree with a specialisation in territorial strategy. She subsequently successfully completed her professional qualification studies (RIBA 3) at London Metropolitan University. She has completed the RIBA Conservation Course and is working towards becoming CA registered.

Since graduating, Pauline has worked in France and in the UK, gaining design and technical experience in mixed-use schemes, residential and commercial projects and conservation. She is a great problem solver and enjoys the challenge to maintain quality during the unexpected issues that arise during construction.

Pauline has been involved across a range of sectors and is passionate about environmental and sustainable architecture. She has an interest in the use of emerging technologies and has worked with the practice to integrate the latest industry tools and techniques, such as BIM processes and 3D visualisations. She is part of the practice sustainability work group looking to promote low impact, climate resilient buildings and create a sustainable work culture in the studio. Pauline has also participated in research workshops looking at reinstating traditional materials and techniques in construction.

Her projects at BFF have included the restoration and remodelling of the Grade I, II* and II York Guildhall complex to provide a world class venue, supporting and nurturing the expansion of York’s vibrant creative businesses; combining events and exhibition space with state-of-the-art collaboration and co-working facilities in the heart of a historic and creative city, securing a sustainable future for one of its most iconic buildings.

Pauline is currently Project Architect for the NLHF funded conservation of the last survivor of a British seaside tradition, the Grade II* Winter Gardens in Great Yarmouth. The project will return the magnificent cast-iron structure to a year-round attraction, incorporating a range of new additions to transform it into a visitor experience for exploring the heritage of the building and town, focusing on heritage, environmental change and sustainability.
