Our work is guided by an ethics of transformation: turning diagnosis into a driver for project and programme, and architecture into a platform for future—open and shared—uses. In a context where uses evolve rapidly, architectural programming can no longer be a simple functional plan; it becomes a tool for foresight and adaptability within an open logic—designing not to freeze, but to enable.

Thinking about the existing also means considering the system formed by building and void, by interior and exterior. The qualities of the inside depend on those of the outside, and vice versa: it is the connection between the rehabilitated site and its outdoor spaces, circulation paths, and thresholds that transforms it into a truly living place.

Our practice of rehabilitation prompts us to rethink our methods of intervention on the built environment. Our approach builds on methodologies developed for historic monuments while extending them to ordinary heritage, which makes up the vast majority of our building stock and forms the everyday living environment of the population.

Our projects located in contexts specific to Priority Urban Policy Districts (QPV) have led us to conceive public facilities as powerful levers for transformation. We advocate for these spaces as essential social infrastructures, capable of profoundly reshaping neighborhoods and the lives of their inhabitants.
