About Elsa Arsenault

Growing up, my dad’s architecture office was directly connected to our house, blurring the lines between work and home in the most natural way. It was always just a few steps away—filled with drawings, models, pencils and large drafting tables where I would spend hours drawing alongside him, soaking in the creative energy. That early exposure made architecture feel less like a career path and more like a way of seeing the world.

Traveling is a constant source of inspiration for me—exploring new cities, observing how cultures shape their environments, and discovering unexpected spaces. These moments fuel my work, reminding me that architecture isn’t just about buildings—it’s about the emotions and stories they hold.
