Roll

Roll is an architecture and design practice based in Paris and Bayonne. Founders Lucie Rebeyrol and Ian Ollivier met in 2016 while working in New York. We create forms and spatial experiences which seek the fine balance between rigor and freedom, function and experience, immediate objectives and possible futures. We have a predilection for sensory architecture and a fondness for the ordinary.
