A PRACTICE AT THE INTERSECTION OF ART, ARCHITECTURE AND EXPERIENCE STRATEGY
Pen & Brick is Raymond Girard’s studio practice, spanning sculptural works at every scale - from intimate pieces to immersive, room-sized installations - alongside strategic design advisory supporting the design and delivery of distinctive travel, retail, and premium public environments.
Grounded in architecture and design thinking, the practice is driven by a deep interest in how people experience space and form - approached with rigour, creativity, and curiosity
Advisory and design practice
Pen & Brick undertakes selective advisory work focused on the design and delivery of experience-led spaces. This work supports travel, retail, and premium environments (commercial and residential) where architectural intent, brand expression, functional needs, and commercial realities must align.
the Art studio
Alongside its advisory and design practice, Pen & Brick creates sculptures and immersive installations exploring architecture, urbanity and the emotional language of infrastructure. Working primarily with LEGO® bricks, the studio operates across scales from tabletop works to room-sized and site-specific installations, combining structural rigour with sensitivity to atmosphere, narrative, culture and place.
