I am Cyril BRIFAULT, an independent interior architect based in France. I specialize in materiality, light, proportions and spatial coherence, working across renovations, transformations of existing buildings, bespoke furniture, and scenography. I accompany projects from early design concepts through site supervision to final delivery, translating complex briefs into coherent, tactile environments. In parallel, I develop a visual approach to architecture, interiors and urban spaces through photography. I use image editing and sequencing to convey atmosphere, rhythm and spatial intent, producing editorial reports and narratives for internal publications (including collaborations with the Colas Group).
