Give a matter to the ordinary
No ready-made solution;
A context; a use; a cost.
Great rationality and lightness, a poetry of the unique situation that makes sense.
Make a specific architecture and adapted to the means specific to each project to produce maximum living conditions.
The office's deep motivation, to reconcile a priori antagonistic terms, the standard and the original, the concrete and the dreamlike, the relevant and the unexpected.
Our projects work economically. They aim to eliminate all superfluous, they keep preciously in them, an expressiveness, a force of evocation which are perhaps at bottom those that the material delivers. Our approach could be summed up in one word: optimality. An optimality which seeks to derive the greatest expressiveness from the material constructed within a rigorous, economical and sustainable arrangement.
