The studio’s interiors include a patisserie in Shanghai, hotels, museum galleries and private houses. Often we design the building and its interior together. Sometimes we work inside a building with a long history.
In those cases we keep as much of the existing architecture as possible and make the new parts from local materials and craft. In 2018 the studio completed the restoration of seventeenth-century apartments in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, refurbishing the structure and façades and designing several modern apartments inside.
Our principles
Respect the existing
Heritage wood, brick and old structure are kept and shown, with new elements set clearly beside them.
Local materials and craft
We use wood, stone and traditional patterns from the region.
Designed with the building
When we also design the building, the interior and the furniture follow the same idea as the façade.
