ECDM. Founded after being the recipient of the Albums de la Jeune Architecture award in 1993 and the Villa Médicis Hors les Murs – scholarship in 1996, Emmanuel Combarel and Dominique Marrec Architects (ECDM) is leading for 18 years a work focused working on defining a living environment through an architectural project. The architecture that materializes the firm’s approach is underpinned by the evolutions and mutations of our society. The dynamics of the project emerges from a confrontation with the context, and a hierarchization of the problematics induced by the program and the site. Environmental quality, landscape, uses, ways of life, and technical choices are all structuring elements of the office’s projects. Its tends to be a simple architecture, sober, following a rigorous logic, without preconceptions, nostalgia or stylistic preoccupations.
