When working on relatively large scale urban planning, from district to square to street to urban furniture, or thinking about issues of landscape within the town, the agency tries not to isolate the architecture from the town, nor to separate thinking on private space from thinking on public space. It is by working on both scales at once that passages and permeability can be more precisely defined in our town-planning projects.

A number of the contemporary architectural projects developed over the years by the agency concern work on existing buildings (additions, extensions, spatial transformations, etc.). The projects benefitted from the exportation of the working method experienced with historic buildings which considerably enriched the creative process of the agency.

Information circulates between architectural studies and furniture studies…the great scale derives from the small scale. Quicker to produce than architecture because less subject to contingent parameters, furniture design requires a close observation of the way we live: study of the evolution of consumerism, testing the habits of our society, etc.
