Jean-Philippe Nuel

Background

Architecture and design run in the family of Jean-Philippe Nuel, who trained at the Paris Ecole des Beaux-Arts and gained his architectural diploma there. He won an international competition presided over by Kenzo Tange, which brought him early recognition.

Signature Style

A complete architecture and decoration scheme for a Parisian hotel was his first commission, followed by many boutique hotels in Paris and elsewhere in France. His studio also works on private houses, spas, concept stores and restaurants.

Notable Works

Hotel projects include Le Victoire Opéra, La Villa St Germain, L'Hôtel Thérèse, Le Général, Le Duo, the Regent Petite France in Strasbourg and the Jiva Hill Park Hotel near Geneva. For Ligne Roset he created the Soufflot range and the Anja range.

Legacy

Sofitel, Hilton and Club Méditerranée are among the chains he has worked for, and his studio is active in Japan, the Middle East and Europe.
