OUR VALUES

Transforming spaces, revealing their soul, and building a sustainable and inspiring futur

NEST Architects was founded with the desire to offer a space that welcomes the projects of our clients in a welcoming space, in a spirit of listening and openness to their needs and desires, their dreams.
With a common experience since 2010, Gilles Duchenne and Stéphanie Roose have brought together a team of architects at NEST who are passionate about the question of "inhabiting", which is probably the one that generates the most expectations today. We seek to offer answers through projects that involve ecological, social, urban and functional issues. Together, we design projects that combine identity, functionality, and environmental responsibility.
We are committed to meeting current environmental challenges by integrating the principles of circular architecture into our projects. We therefore favour an approach that respects our environment, the reuse of resources and a design that promotes the adaptability and durability of the buildings.
Each project we design is inscribed in its urban and landscape context, with regard to its social and political environment, with the ambition of revealing the potential of existing spaces, while integrating our contemporary challenges related to the act of building and climatological issues.
Thanks to our expertise and commitment, we support our clients in the creation of harmonious, efficient and meaningful living spaces.

KEY VALUES

Each project is based on key values such as circularity, renovation, "inhabiting", identity, craftsmanship and the dialogue between the mineral and the vegetal. These themes are explored at different scales, enriching each aspect of the project. We test them through concrete cases, called "Lab", allowing us to move from the general to the specific and vice versa. This ensures continuous consistency and adaptation throughout the design.

  • HOUSING • IDENTITY
  • CIRCULARITY • RENOVATION
  • URBANITY • VEGETAL
