By 1971, he moved to Paris-based property developers, Richard Ellis SA, where he was Project Leader and Site Coordinator for commercial buildings.

From 1976 to 1986, Pierre was based in Kuwait, as an Associate of AART International, another firm of Paris-based Architects, where he was Project Leader and Design Director. Since 1987 he has been Managing Director of Palm Architects, based in Nice, France, with responsibility for client liaison and contract management.
