Frigerio Jean-Luc (Lausanne)

THE APPROACH The office's activities are divided between renovation, heritage restoration, creation and intervention. The diversity of sizes, styles and specifications ranges from a listed castle to the creation of a sports hall or housing units, as well as extensions to pre-existing buildings. However, the constant remains the same in both new and existing projects: a contextual approach based on a detailed and critical reading of the site, an understanding of the issues and requirements of the various players involved, a willingness to adapt to the existing situation, attention to detail and modesty in our approach.

We're also interested in the relationship between history and modernity, between what's already there and what's contemporary, not antagonism but complementarity. The existing carries with it the signs from which the new architectural project can be undertaken.
