About Studio
Philosophy
An architectural project is worked out while answering a multitude of constraints, it acts to create an environment favorable for human activity. We all know that we do not only live thanks to some protéïnes which enable us to function: the quality of our life, the force of our memories, the importance of our interpersonal exchanges, the reading of the environment, all these moments wake up in us emotions.
The Workshop
A creative cross-pollination in the team reflects concepts that arise from a practice of intuitive observation and generosity of approach. Our studio is dedicated to creating a dynamic workplace where several artisans are working together. Our 38 years of experience allow us to work in several fields such as residences, office, and commercial buildings, as well as museums and galleries.
Experience Abroad
We have realized constructions in the following countries: Belgium, the Caribbean, Germany, Greece, France, Great Britain, Italy, Maroc, The Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, United States.

The HIFI house is just as much a product of nature as of humans. It is in perfect harmony with the landscape that surrounds it. In fact, the house is a result of its natural environment and, in particular, a tremendous tree, an oak worthy of the most magical fairy tales.
