Cabcab Architecture is available for new projects

Founded in 2012 in Montpellier, CabCab Architecture is an architectural studio rooted in the Mediterranean basin, developing a sensitive, contextual, and committed approach to architectural design.

The practice belongs to a generation of designers who move beyond the formal dogmas inherited from modernism, refocusing architecture on reality, uses, and emotions. Each project is conceived as a specific response to a given context, in close dialogue with place, climate, and ways of living.

The Mediterranean territory forms the foundation of CabCab Architecture’s thinking. Between climatic constraints, intense light, limited resources, and rich landscapes, it calls for an approach that is at once restrained, intelligent, and sustainable.

The studio develops an architecture based on essential principles:

• economy of means
• constructive robustness
• bioclimatic intelligence
• permeability between interior and exterior
• constant dialogue with the landscape

This approach aims to create spaces that are accurate, balanced, and in harmony with both their environment and their use.

CabCab Architecture’s work is rooted in continuity with vernacular knowledge and Mediterranean building cultures. These references are not used as mere formal language, but as living resources to be reinterpreted through contemporary tools.

Particular attention is given to materiality, detailing, and execution, considered fundamental elements of architectural quality, user experience, and emotion.

The studio develops a generalist practice across multiple scales:

• architecture, 
• interior architecture, 
• public spaces, 
• object design,
• installations,
• and exhibitions.

Each project is approached as a unique situation requiring a tailored, sensitive, and coherent response.

CabCab Architecture structures its approach around strong principles:

• prioritizing accuracy over demonstration
• revealing the existing qualities of a place
• designing open and adaptable spaces
• valuing uses and appropriation, particularly in public spaces
• embedding each project within a framework of cultural, social, and environmental sustainability

In project delivery, the studio relies on a structured and collaborative process to ensure quality and consistency at every stage:

• smooth coordination between clients, users, and contractors
• use of advanced design tools (digital and physical models)
• adaptation to economic and technical constraints
• attention to detail, ornament, and construction methods
• integration of responsible practices: reuse, recycling, bio-based and geo-based materials
• collaboration with a multidisciplinary network (engineers, landscape designers, designers, craftsmen…)
• development of passive and bioclimatic solutions suited to the Mediterranean climate

Today, CabCab Architecture is led by its two partner architects, Guilhem Delhomme and Tiroy Saliou. Their backgrounds, combining independent practice and experience within renowned agencies, have enabled them to build a strong network of partners and expertise.

Through its projects, CabCab Architecture pursues a clear ambition: to contribute to the qualitative transformation of Mediterranean territories by proposing a situated, responsible, and sustainable architecture.

The studio designs spaces that enrich living environments, engage with their surroundings, and stand the test of time with coherence and precision.
