We are a bilingual architecture and design studio based in Uzés, Gard. We specialise in residential renovations with an emphasis on furniture design and architectural detailing. With over 20 years in the industry we strive to create environments that live well and last long.
I design with attention to phenomena; light, time, raison d’être, sensations of discovery, texture, sound, repetition… It’s a Humanistic approach – considering how the body reads its environment and how subtle details create a general experience.
