Our design, consulting, inspection, managing and engineering services cover a large area of activity in landscaping, the environment, sustainable development and the historical heritage sector. Our work consists in the design, the seeing through and highlighting of transportation infrastructures and all types of facilities whether they be culture, sport, leisure, housing or health related as well as cultural or natural landscaping or ephemeral gardens.
Urban mobility
These projects are in keeping with local and regional policies for better city transit. They aim to structure cohabitation between slow, public, and all other motorised means of transport, undertaking a reflection on all new forms of mobility, especially those on a local scale (hectometric transport for all short distance means of transport). Also they offer the opportunity to emphasize or requalify the land they cross, whether it be urban or suburban. Green areas remain a bonding tool to bring together the new amenities and ensure their integration in time and space, ensuring continuity in urbanscape.
These projects embrace all types of facilities: culture, sport, leisure, health or housing. Where buildings exist already the planted area adds value or constitutes the essence of the programme itself. The objective is to always define identity in its historical, geographical, and territorial context. Always attentive to user’s needs, maintaining continuity through case-by-case improvement is the hallmark of our work.
Parks And Gardens
These projects cover variable scales, more or less historically rooted. But their common denominator is the importance placed on walks and promenades, views and landscape exploration, respect of functionality, different uses, and scale fitting. Always define the spirit of the place, with a contemporary interpretation, without neglecting the aesthetical, ecological, functional, and leisure issues, balancing each criteria if necessary.
Strategic and Prospective Territory Studies
The following correspond to tender offers in the field of site development and land protection. They combine environmental, cultural, economic and functional aspects of the areas in question.
