Light minimal

Approach

Four ideas we design around

  • Site

    The land decides the plan, not the catalogue

    We survey the plot, the wind and the neighbours before drawing a single wall.

  • Climate

    Shade before air conditioning

    Depth of façade, cross ventilation and thermal mass do most of the cooling on the plateau.

  • Material

    Built with what the region already makes

    Local stone, brick and joinery keep the budget and the maintenance in the same wilaya.

  • Use

    Rooms that survive a growing family

    Plans that take a new bedroom or a ground-floor shop without touching the structure.

  • Cost

    A drawing you can actually finance

    Phased so a floor can be closed and lived in while the next one waits.

  • Time

    Drawings the mason can read

    Detailed enough that the site asks fewer questions and the work moves.
