GLS STUDIO
Working as an interior designer in GL Studio, has given me the possibility to interact with clients. I was given responsibilities by being the project manager of an apartment renovation. All projects I was asked to participate to, have permitted me to use all the skills I have learned at university but also to discover new aspects of the profession. Working in the office but also going on-site, and meeting with the workers permitted me to learn in an entirely new dynamic.

BARDIN PROJECT
WHAT
The renovation of this apartment was the project where I was given the most responsibility. The client wanted to turn this apartment into a residential home for a couple. The old plans were outdated and needed refreshing; for example, the bedroom had to be a separated room of a minimum of 9m² (according to today's building regulations). All partition walls were demolished as well as the kitchen and the bathroom. Floor plans were made to show the workers which elements had to be demolished and where the new walls had to be erected. Through meetings with the electrician, the electrical floor plans were made. It was important to find solutions for internal furniture placement for the clients, as the space is limited.

VIGNERON PROJECT
The purpose of this project was to make an extension to an existing house. This extension would involve the ground floor, the first floor by the creation of a mezzanine, and the roof. Proposals were made to comply with the clients' requests. All measurements had to be taken in this house built by the original owners, in the 60s. It was a real challenge to create floor plans according to walls that were not parallel to one another. Real-life difficulties of renovation are not explained in the theory of the class room.
