À deux c’est mieux (better together)
A bathroom for an inseparable couple madly in love.
"We cook together, we sleep together, we eat together - we poop together.”
Double sinks are a commonly accepted bathroom feature in homes where couples live. Why stop at double sinks?
At the beginning of a relationship, a couple is made up of two individuals who, over time, become one. The initial promises and desires to hide certain parts of their lives from their partner slowly dissolve as cohabitation breaks down all walls.
The friends we had before are forgotten, "me and you" become "us", and every task and project becomes a group venture. The relationship becomes a priority, while privacy is slowly bid farewell.
Part of a series exploring values that shape the built environment.

The Antivitruvian
house
Vitruvius declared that architecture must be solid, useful, and beautiful - values that have since become pillars of contemporary architecture.
The antivitruvian house is neither useful, solid nor beautiful (in any conventional way at least). Instead, it emphasises non traditional (non Vitruvian) architectural values such as impermanence, play, total flexibility and uselessness, as a building may serve a multitude of functions outside of any traditional parameters.

Comet

To reflect the local character of Maxime's projects, the lettering draws inspiration from Basque typography.
The icon represents the celestial nature of the company's name while referencing the screw, an essential construction element.
