The studio was established in 2012 in Nice by two partners, Jennifer Carre and Nicolas Février, brought together by a shared commitment to territorial development, urban planning, architecture, and education. With a focus on cultivating a coherent and thoughtful approach, the studio seeks to address both the specificities of each territory and the broader transformations shaping contemporary society. Central to their methodology is an iterative process in which the analysis of contextual challenges plays a critical role. Representation is approached as a prospective tool — one that expands the field of possibilities. The narrative is intentionally multi-layered, encouraging dialogue among stakeholders to collaboratively arrive at the most appropriate and informed response. Organized as a collective, the studio has the capacity to form partnerships with other architectural and urban planning firms, depending on the nature and scale of the projects. In 2016, a branch was established in Paris. Roland Oberhofer joined the team at that time and assumed leadership of the Paris office.
