The fun of design lies in continuous creation

Since its founding in 2008 by Frédéric Chartier and Pascale Dalix, the ChartierDalix office has delivered some fifteen buildings. Noticed at several international competitions, it was awarded a number of prizes, among which the Première Œuvre du Moniteur prize in 2009, and the “40 under 40” European prize for young architects in 2012. The residence hall at the Porte des Lilas (Paris 20th arrondissement) was nominated for the Equerre d’argent prize and the Mies van der Rohe Award in 2014. The office recently received the “Le Soufaché” prize, awarded by the French Academy of Architecture in recognition of its work as a whole.

Formed in 2012 by a group of friends and architects, the Collective Parenthesis is a framework for reflection and experimentation around the practices of space and the city. The desire to create differently, question the disciplines and trades of architecture and its working methods are at the origin of this grouping.

Eléments incontournables de la culture urbaine, le skateboard, le roller et le BMX, occupent une place grandissante dans l’espace public, en détournant le mobilier urbain comme terrain de jeu.
