The architectural language of our projects is specific to our agency culture, attentive to contemporary construction, to the economy of materials, to the fundamental notions of orders, rhythms and compositions.

The "skin" that protects the interior from the cold or the humidity of the tropical climate is an opportunity to give meaning to the changing play of light. The "skin" is not a motif that hides the misery of the assembly or the incoherent superposition of materials that have nothing to do with each other. Packaging has nothing to do with assembly; besides collage is the worst thing to do as an architect.

Assembly

01

By definition, the building is a composition. It appears as an assembly of interconnected figures. It is the nature of these connections which characterizes architecture: articulations, joints, gaps, repetitions. In the tropical environment the assembly is in relation with:

Filters

02

Concrete, wood or metal, glass or stone, filters blur the reading of the facade to better reveal the relationship between inside and outside, the mystery of a building.
The filter of a facade weaves the light.
The filter is the subtle and fragile place of exchanges between inside and outside.

Geometry, Geography

Geometry is originally the part of mathematics that studies figures in plane and space. Since the end of the 18th century, geometry also studies figures belonging to other types of spaces.

Platforms and supports

The space of the platform is the first space of the nomad who installs his tent, the landscape lines of the farmer who works subtly with water, of the man who arranges his space to work there with ease. This simple installation in nature, used for religious purposes to pose temples, churches and mosques, or military strongholds allows us to contemplate the world and its horizon. Being on a promontory, belvedere, terrace, platform allows you to frame your gaze on the horizon as if to better feel the landscape.

The assembly raises the question of meaning and constructive truth. The assembly, the choice of materials and structure, the economy of means and materials gives meaning to the project. A site whose load-bearing structure expresses the evidence bears the beginnings of a beautiful building.

Horizons, Lines and Fractals

Landscape: Spatial expanse, natural or transformed by man, which presents a certain visual or functional identity: Forest, urban, industrial landscape”. “Overall view that we have from a given point: from my window”. A fractal is a geometric object in which each proportion has an identical surface, which means that whatever the angle from which we look at it, it always remains similar.

Materials

The materials are decided according to construction techniques and the economy of local resources. (Origin and traceability, biosourced materials, material saving, ecology) The elegance, the rhythm, the proportions then flow naturally and logically from the constructive qualities of these support materials.
