Work guided by the quest for quality

"We believe that our environment influences our lives, whether at work, at home or in public spaces. Not only buildings but also urban planning affect our well-being. So we're concerned with the physical context of the project, with the culture and climate of the place. We don't see Architecture as the expression of a gratuitous gesture, an artistic delirium or a desire to satisfy our ego by branding a project. On the contrary, it's a set of values that our design must translate into the scale of a singular building. In this respect, every design is a new synthesis, in that it is the transcription of a company's codes, the vision of its managers, the know-how of its employees, its strategy or, more simply, its origins and its future. Our role, then, is to use architecture to convey a message, the content of which supports the image of the client. In this respect, the act of building is a responsible act, the fundamental principle of which is respect for the environment: social, cultural and urban". Gabriel Franc - General Manager

Fair, reliable and sustainable architecture

"We are committed to developing architecture that is fair, reliable and sustainable. Our skills as architects and engineers enable us to work on a complete assignment basis, thereby controlling the costs and quality of our projects".
"Our multiple points of view fully define this profession, where aesthetics are important, but not exclusive, because other assets are necessary. You have to be able to immerse yourself in the use to which the b tment will be put: working on a hospital project means becoming a hospital patient; working on housing means thinking about living in it; working on a university campus means being a student as well as a teacher." Yann Daoudlarian - Chairman
