ABC Architectures was created in 1996 by Bertrand Cohen architect dplg, in Dordogne then in Lot et Garonne. Its activity is directed both towards the new and the renovation, with a predilection for the development of ancient buildings, their history, their materials by injecting a contemporary program to it.
Each project must be carrying a strong idea, born from the program, from the experiences of the resident, from the character of the building to renovate, from the land for a new construction and from the confrontation of all these settings. This idea must survive from the first sketches to the realization.
To achieve this, we must be attentive before imagining. We must listen to the environment, the future resident, the site, the materials of the existing structure....
From there, the development of the project begins with a permanent confrontation combining common sense, practicality, savings and aesthetic, to go beyond the hype and novelty.
Green materials, bioclimatic design will be preferred if the context of the project adapts to it.
