The Building Workshop is headed up by Patrick Rimbault. Patrick is a structural engineer by education and profession.

As an engineer, Patrick has used his architectural and geometric knowledge to realize complex designs at many scales and in many project typologies. Finding engineering interesting at all scales, he is as comfortable working on small details on high-end residential projects as he is on industrial builds with large structural elements.

Having often combined his knowledge of structures with his good computer literacy and programming skill-set to unpack and define complex geometric forms, The Building Workshop was an obvious progression. See Patrick’s CV here.
