In these places, the challenge is to structure, to write, to build by the side of the water. It is about revealing distant reliefs, valuing nature, highlighting the skyline, emphasizing the context or prolonging biodiversity.

Contextual architecture, by contrast or symbiosis, tries to answer essential questions of present times: how to exist, how to be in Strasbourg on the banks of the Rhine? How to make Strasbourg appreciative of its other slope? How to create new functions and new architecture by the water’s side? How to reveal the place, its horizons, its trees, its waters without contradict its context? How to create lasting activities? By thinking of tomorrow, of other working, by proposing a resilient, connected, frugal architecture, which fits delicately into the landscape and which cultivates the pleasure of simply being there.

We have imagined a place open to the world, linked to nature, where the user and his well-being are at the heart of our reflection and creation.
