BARTOLO + CONTRÉ ARCHITECTS

"Towards an ethic of the inhabited environment"

BARTOLO + CONTRÉ ARCHITECTS

Nearly twenty years of architectural practice, first within large Parisian agencies and since 2006 within BVAU Agency (1) for Eric Bartolo, and for Olivier Contré at Brunet Saunier Architecture (2) where he became a partner in 2010 before joining Cardete-Huet (Kardham) where he developed and managed (as new associate) the Parisian architecture division, allow them to fully assume their maturity  A maturity that is also nourished by their experience as a teacher for the former, and as a researcher and author for the latter  (4)

Together, they practice a sensitive approach to the truth, as well as to the constructed perfection  An approach that, enhanced by a permanent dialogue with project owners, users and all other partners that cannot be dissociated from the act of building, testifies to their purpose - to offer the architecture they produce not a permanently frozen state, but on the contrary a resilience that allows it to anticipate and accept the unexpected and in the end to renew itself, without ever losing its original qualities
