Our
way
of thinking
10 years ago, we decided to combine our architectural practices in order to combine our expertise to meet the diverse and complex needs of our private and public customers.
A for Architect and 26 for the number of letters in the alphabet, our name carries this ambition to design from start to finish and orchestrate the transformation of living environments, adapting to the present to compose tomorrow.
Building Harmony - Building is at the heart of our business, but we don't want to build just for the art of architecture. We want to build in harmony: in harmony with our customers and partners, in harmony with the users of the buildings, in harmony with the planet's resources, in harmony with the territories and in harmony with everything that makes up the ecosystem of our projects.
Enter the era of reversibility
architecture
In a world where resources are not inexhaustible, but where human needs and expectations are evolving rapidly, we need to rethink our approach.
Thinking about the reversibility of spaces is a matter of course for us, because a building designed today will have to adapt to the flexibility of its uses and will have several existences.
Office spaces will have reversible configurations to adapt to collaborative or more individual needs; today's campus may become tomorrow's business incubator.
This implies rethinking infrastructure, which means favoring natural, local and bio-sourced materials when creating buildings, as well as selecting materials and designs that allow for cost-effective reversibility.
Our role is to design and orchestrate the transformation of these spaces, to make them more flexible in their use.
Thinking ecologically responsible
The approach aims to minimize the ecological footprint of buildings, from the quality of materials to noise pollution, and also to minimize future operating costs.
Solutions involving insulation, the use of renewable energies, environmentally-friendly heating systems, the use of rainwater, etc. will ensure both comfort of use and lower operating costs.
From territorial scale to design
Because a building lives in a territory, we also have to work on its urban integration. After a complete analysis of all the implications of a site, we always ask ourselves: "what would it be like to live well here?"
Guided by the idea of building for human beings who, among other things, live, work, learn, care for themselves and enjoy themselves, our thinking always starts from a context:
An area's topography, history, social context and changing lifestyles. We then add architectural ingredients such as light, orientation, size and materials to guarantee quality of life.
This thinking leads us to think about spaces from the territorial scale right through to the design of interior spaces, and thus to offer a complete response, in harmony at every level, to our clients and principals.
