We are a bilingual architecture and design studio based in Uzés, Gard. We specialise in residential renovations with an emphasis on stone buildings and custom cabinetry. With over 20 years in the industry we create spaces with a clear identity and proven added value.
I design with attention to phenomena; light, time, sensations of discovery, texture, repetition… It’s a Humanistic approach – considering how the body reads its environment and how subtle details create a general experience. Residential architecture, in my opinion, should be both stimulating and entirely normal at the same time. It is a slow art requiring intuitive observation and rigorous foresight.
