ATELIER NORD — Selected works, 2019–2025
FIVE WORKS,WITHOUT ASINGLE IMAGE.
What is well built does not need to be shown. It needs to be visited.
Here is the studio's decade, project by project, in words alone. Each line states the place, the program and what we removed. The rest belongs to those who live there.
- 01Normandy — Residence — 2025
MAISON K
Three chalk walls, an orchard kept, and one room left deliberately empty.
- 02Copenhagen — Art foundation — 2024
HALLE BRUME
A single hall, lit by the sky, where the works wait standing.

REFUGE 1041
Twenty bunks, one stove, and the granite left as found.
- 04Zeeland — Residence — 2021
MAISON DIGUE
A house lower than the dyke, facing the sea without ever dominating it.
- 05Drôme — Silent building — 2019
CHAPELLE DU MÛRIER
Four walls around a tree. The tree decides the light.
The selection
Four new sites a year.
A hundred letters arrive. Four sites open.
The studio opens four new sites each year — the fifth measure belongs to the works already underway, because a building of the studio is never handed over, it is accompanied. This rhythm is not a constraint: it is the condition of the slowness we promise.
The studio
BEHIND EACHWORK,eight people.
The method in three movements, the disciplines around the tables, and the list of what we decline — the practice can be visited too.
