Expertise & insights
A contemporary approach rooted in place
Heritage is not a fixed image of the past, it’s a living resource for the present, and for what comes next.
We work across preservation and reinvention: studying, documenting and protecting built heritage, while drawing from its principles to inform contemporary design.
Our approach values vernacular construction, thermal comfort, locally sourced materials and cultural continuity, not for nostalgia, but to ground innovation in context.

Collaborative methods that engage inhabitants, institutions & makers
Participation is not a trend, it’s a method we’ve practiced deeply and consistently.
From participatory workshops to exploratory walks, our team brings long-term experience in citizen-led processes – from fieldwork in Morocco to public space projects and co-design formats in Belgium.
These frameworks create space for listening and dialogue, for collective authorship and negotiation, allowing architecture to emerge from lived realities.

Exploring public, civic and cultural anchors
As spaces that gather communities across time, mosques reveal how architecture shapes daily life, governance and collective rhythms.
Not only religious buildings, they are spatial, political and social devices.
We engage with the mosque both as a sacred space and an architectural object, one that evolves without losing its essence.
Our work explores how to contemporize mosque architecture with care, avoiding both pastiche and rupture, and opening space for new expressions of continuity.
We bring the same attention to other community buildings like schools and gathering places that hold equally vital roles in the civic fabric.
