Clara Domange is a French-American Architectural Designer based in Paris. 

She graduated with a Bachelors of Architecture from Ecole Spéciale d’Architecture in 2015 and with a Masters of Architecture from Yale University in 2020.

Over the past decade, Clara has worked on a wide range of projects, of various scales and programs, both in architecture firms and independently. Her architectural career began in 2013 when she interned for AMA, an architecture and urbanism firm in Paris, assisting primarily in the development of a large-scale mixed-use building in Mantes, France. Subsequently, she joined award-wining Polly Osborne Architects (FAIA) in Los Angeles, a firm focused on site-specific, environmentally conscious residential projects in California.

Upon graduating from Yale, Clara was awarded the Horse Island Fellowship to design and construct a self-sufficient Research Station for the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Located on a small island off the Connecticut coast and completed in January 2021, the Station operates entirely with renewable and passive energy systems and is made of reused, sustainable and locally sourced materials.

She then joined Barthélémy Griño Architectes in Paris to manage the Masterplan of the INSEAD Campus in Fontainebleau, France. In collaboration with Agence Ter, landscape architects, they carried out a detailed diagnosis of the campus, from classroom to regional scale. This informed the complete reorganization and renovation of the campus, comprised of twenty-three buildings, through a phasing in ten years allowing the school to continue operations throughout construction. A book of architectural and urban guidelines, a detailed cost estimate, as well as a zero-carbon energy strategy were also provided and approved.

Clara originally launched her independent practice in 2016 with an 18th century apartment renovation in Paris, and now with the complete renovation of a 1920s Spanish house in the Hollywood Hills. She has collaborated on the renovation of a historical building in Lisbon, as well as with a Parisian firm to convert commercial and office spaces into short-term housing. Clara holds a particular interest in temporality and how the history, identity, and character of a place, with careful consideration of its context, can merge with standards of today and concerns of the future.
