RAPHAEL CRESPIN

Raphael Crespin is a French architect and designer based in Hong Kong and Dubai.

Raphael’s work sits at the intersection of design, art, and architecture. He approaches design as a form of disruptive intervention—blending emergent digital technologies with craftsmanship excellence to explore new ways of shaping design language and narratives.
Each project is conceived as a response—one that provokes emotional resonance and redefines our relationship with the built and designed environment.

Prior to establishing his practice, Raphael worked with various offices in Asia and Europe. As a Postdoc Researcher at Singapore University of Technology and Design, he participated to the Grand Challenge Program for Sustainable Built Environment in association with MIT. One of his most relevant experiences was certainly with dECOi Architects, an architectural firm known for its radical approach where Raphael actively contributed to the development of numerous award-winning projects. Raphael received his Master of Design and Interior Architecture from ESAG Penninghen in Paris.
