Jean-Michel Wilmotte is an architect, urban planner and designer, and has been a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts since 2015. Born in 1948 in Soissons (France) and a graduate in interior architecture from the École Camondo (Paris), he founded the architecture firm Wilmotte & Associés in 1975. Together with its design studio Wilmotte & Industries, it now brings together 250 architects, urban planners, designers, museographers and interior architects of 27 nationalities in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Senegal and South Korea. From Dallas to Seoul, by way of Moscow, Dakar and São Paulo, Jean-Michel Wilmotte and his teams have travelled the world for more than 45 years, always placing people, their cultures and their histories at the heart of their creations.
Whatever the project, from the simplest to the most spectacular, they take an approach that is both innovative and responsible, with particular attention to materials, light, finishes and plant life, always respecting the site and its history.
