An architecture graduate of Paris-la-Défense and ENSA Normandie, Antonin Ziegler worked in practices in Rouen and Montreal, Canada, before returning to France to set up his own studio in 2012. His first project, Cliffs Impasse, an extension for a country house in Senneville-sur-Fécamp, won him several awards, while other works include Le 107 in Asnières- sur-Seine. His influences are varied. ‘I am sensitive to constructed worlds rather than precise references – certain sequences by David Lynch, Andrew Niccol or Wong Kar-wai, or works by photographers such as Gregory Crewdson, Jeff Wall or Stephen Shore.’ He is currently teaching as well as practising.
