FARALAB ARCHITECTES is available for new projects
FARLAB develops projects of various scales and works for both private clients and public authorities — from individual houses to larger urban blocks and neighborhoods — in both new construction and renovation. Their work embraces a wide diversity of uses and architectural expressions, stemming from the variety of commissions they undertake.
At FARLAB, architecture is seen as a medium for research, aimed at cultivating a sensitive approach to each project and its context. This approach seeks a balance between ecological concerns, constructive quality, and narrative sensibility, while always placing quality of life at the heart of the process. Each project is a meeting point — a dialogue — where the question of use is continually re-examined.
Every design integrates the essential architectural elements — transversality, co-visibility, light, intimacy, depth, spatial distribution, flow management, and relationship to the ground, landscape, and environment — while harmonizing programmatic, economic, structural, heritage, and aesthetic parameters.
FARLAB strives to create unique architectures within often ordinary contexts, embedding the act of building within the continuity of what already exists. Their philosophy is to build with the existing, promoting harmony, continuity, preservation, and enhancement. They favor a restrained and thoughtful architectural language, where use itself becomes an expressive tool — always seeking constructive coherence and spatial flexibility.
Through careful framing and cross-perspectives, FARLAB aims to find a delicate balance between architecture and its surrounding nature, creating a sense of continuity between interior and exterior, simplicity and harmony — playing with natural light and carefully orchestrated views (strategic openings, skylights, and light wells).
Deeply committed to energy-efficient renovation, they actively explore bioclimatic solutions and advocate for ecological approaches (plant-based insulation, timber construction, material reuse, raw earth, etc.), even within the constraints of tight budgets. They believe that sustainable architecture should rely on biosourced, locally produced, and reused materials, prioritizing bioclimatic, low-tech, and short-circuit design principles.
For each project, FARLAB surrounds itself with specialized engineering consultants, fostering knowledge-sharing and idea exchange to ensure relevant and innovative solutions.
The genesis of every project is guided by collaborative discussions, attentive listening, and meaningful dialogue with clients and partners — all in service of maintaining the highest quality standards.
FARLAB aims to create simple, clear, and refined architecture, designed to become a shared space capable of welcoming unforeseen uses.
