Dominique Coulon & Associés

By designing the central interior spaces, rich in colors and contrasts, which form the soul of their projects, they promise their visitors a spatial and emotional experience that breaks with their immediate environment, as well as access to a special place where one can be with oneself and with others at the same time.

The architecture of the Strasbourg office reveals itself in a subtle and elegant way and is closely linked to movement in space. The further one walks through it, the more it unfolds, like a picture book that opens up.

The architects design spaces that cannot be deciphered immediately, that attach great importance to perception and surprise. They create spaces that can be consciously experienced, instead of spaces with a rigid design.

Mighty concrete blocks cut through and break through areas that are often double the height of the room. Their complex shape with protruding corners and angles envelops imposing foyer and entrance halls in each of these buildings and offers spacious access areas that bring together the various uses and places.

It is these large openings and generous volumes, designed to bring people together and at the same time bring them closer to the landscape, as well as the architectural use of color, supported by natural light, that result in a poetic manifesto of apparent naturalness and yet great complexity.
