DATA

Execution Period:

Young team of architects with a past full of awards. They look beyond fashion and popularity, "reading the location" in order to put into place refreshing architecture". Design attitude: "Our façades arebeholden exclusively to the ground plan: we therefore have no agenda, just insights!…" Credo: "the fewer details, the more self-evident the space.”
