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. Together, they carried out the transformation of the Site Verrier de Meisenthal

a cultural campus including a visitor center, black box theater, museum and glass blowing studios. The studio works in the fields of architecture and exhibition design. We create forms and spatial experiences seeking a 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.

Roll recently completed the photography exhibition Regards du Grand Paris.

Through working in prominent art institutions and architecture firms, we gained strong experience in projects of various scales dedicated to living, working and culture. We have been invited to collaborate with studio PILA on the winning competition entry for the MBK lot
