The project’s design and planning focus on a thorough understanding of the local context. The building responds to existing scales. Its location and architecture dentote the space´s public nature and inject new life into the site. By taking surrounding public spaces into consideration when designing the project ,we reinforced the notion that this building is a public facility, a landmark within the surrounding disorder.
FREAKS freearchitects have been commissioned for the interior design of the shop for a new natural comestics brand Heliocosm located in Herold street, Paris 1st ward.

In the district of the Olympics, the reconstruction of the kindergarten takes the shape of a toy gleaming between the towers and bars nearby. She participates in the revival of an operation planning, control of the 60/70, dense, and mixed functional. In this lively neighborhood, the city undertook a project of land consolidation and redevelopment of outdoor spaces. The school, tiny among the towers, intends to play its role in this context: enhancing the image of the equipment and resist the overwhelming presence of nearby buildings and pervasiveness of the concrete.

On a plof of 3.80m*6m in a dead en in Paris we imagined a project made out of verticality and transparency while respecting urbanistic rules and integration in this quiet country side like place. After demolition of the existing small house we had to consolidate the underground quarry and we constructed a house of 10m high with very strong positions in terms of the way it was built, the functional aspect, the relationships between inside & outside and the esthetic ideas :
A renovation project for an apartment in Paris. A project which is based on transitions between texture, colors, tints and transparencies. Living spaces are designed and drawn with lots of details including the made to measure furniture. Functionally the idea was to plan two bedrooms with their own bathroom in small spaces and to imagine a kind of “invisible” kitchen in a wide living room.
A complete renovation done with both an aesthetic direction using three pastel colors in floor, wall & in a play of strips or vertical lines; and also a practical care by entirely restructuring the volumes & flows and designing customized furniture in order to optimize the space and keep free and empty spots
Atelier Kempe Thill has recently won an invited competition for 55 apartments, a dentist’s surgery, a mother child centre and a parking garage at the 18th arrondissement in Paris. The program is organized in two compact urban villas connected by a collective bamboo garden and the semi-underground garage. All apartments have flexible floor plans and glazed façade with sliding doors. A private winter garden is wrapped all along the façade functioning as an additional outside space and a climate buffer of the apartments.
The new project has been realized in a neighborhood, Antony, that is an example of the belief that architecture, whether heterogeneous and homogeneous, is shaped by outdated zoning regulations. The delays in securing permits, along with conditions of the urban situation and our desire to continue and refine our own research on wood constructions, led us to propose a type of construction system. This type is still not released in urban areas and rather reserved for detached houses in less dense sites. The urban rules and the site context, which is very typical, have suggested the template, which has proved a real asset to the project.
The new Citroën showroom is at number 42 Champs Elysées; Citroën have owned the site since André Citroën set up shop there in the 1920s. His original showroom was beautiful, the interior was extremely theatrical, and the glass rectangle façade beautifully proportioned, very minimalist and contemporary.

The school at Le Bourget is modelled after its changing neighbourhood, an area facing the landscape of Grand Paris, connected to the city by green “corridors”, and brought near Paris thanks to its nearby train station. Just like a vertebrate organism slipping into the fragmented plot, the school is designed based on a structure entirely made out of timber, digitized and optimized, prefabricated in a workshop-factory and mounted in a few months by two craftsmen. This structure, including structural frames every 1.50 m, is covered with a green roof for water retention and thermal mass. Elevations of the structure are cladded with glass and aluminium panels aligned on the 1.50 m frame to frame distance. Therefore, the aluminium envelope is only 4 mm thick and the insulation fits within the thickness of the structure.
