Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Malaquais (ENSAPM) in 2013, Anne-Laure Moreira Mbaye is a French-Senegalese architect. After several professional experiences in France and then Senegal, in 2018 she co-founded Atelier KALM, affirming a desire to think and build differently on the African continent.

His local experiences have enabled him to develop a keen awareness of the architectural and urban issues specific to Africa, and to adopt a contextualized stance that is at once sensitive, committed and pragmatic.

Convinced that architecture plays a fundamental role in structuring and improving the urban fabric, she directs her work towards the creation of sustainable, responsible and profoundly human spaces. Atelier KALM's approach combines contemporary demands, environmental awareness and social responsibility.

The objective is clear: to design bioclimatic architecture, anchored in its environment and respectful of its resources, designed to sustainably improve the living environment. To achieve this, each project promotesuse of local and bio-sourced materials such as earth, wood or straw, integrates green spaces and emphasizes theorientation and protection of building facadeswhile optimizing passive ventilation and interior comfort.

Atelier KALM's architecture is sustainable, resilient and respectful of its context, while placing people at the heart of each project.
