Thomas Coldefy and Isabel Van Haute are the dynamic duo of Coldefy & Associates Architects Urban Planners (CAAU), leading the diverse international team based in Lille, France.
Animated by an international tropism, the office is driven to participate regularly in large international competitions. Their originality and resourcefulness have brought them success in a number of entries, including the Hong Kong Design Institute in 2006.
Today this landmark building has since been completed and the firm has opened a local office where the architects now visit regularly.
The firm’s international activity extends beyond Asia, having won the international conference center in Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso in 2009 and the Public Service Hall in Kobuleti, Georgia in 2012. Additionally, in association with Steven Holl, they were selected as one of the 5 Finalists for the International Louvre Lens
competition.
In France, CAAU continues to develop a number of projects, notably in the Lille metropolitan area where they have already realized a number of constructions, as well as in Paris where the office is involved in multiple high- Profile consultations.
