Studio philosophy

Bioclimatic is not a label. It is a calculation.

Every project starts with the plot: solar exposure, prevailing winds, local species, regional materials. No catalogue plans — every brief starts from zero.

Bioclimatic architecture is not a layer added at the end of the design process — it is the starting point. Building orientation, thermal mass, shade patterns, natural cross-ventilation: these decisions are made before the first line appears on the plan.

Local materials — Bordeaux stone, Landes maritime pine, lime render — are not an aesthetic choice. They are materials that age well, breathe, and integrate naturally into the Gironde landscape. They cost the same as their industrial equivalents. They last twice as long.
