The work philosophy is based on the topic of thought and scales studies are not limited and it subsists a multi disciplinary dialogue. Design, music, mode, urban design, architecture and landscape open a path of research and guide the reflection around the project idea. The problematic of housing and urban design are currently representative of the main activity of the agency. There is a particular preoccupation and care to existing situations. The economy represents a guideline in the conception and the control of architecture projects.
