Collectif Encore architecture & paysage

Collectif Encore is an agency of architects and landscape architects who claim the need for projects anchored in real life. The agency’s philosophy was recently resumed in a conference held at the Versailles School of Architecture by Anna Chavepayre, stating ”in an image-ruled era where only what is simplified and binary becomes visible, we value complexity, interactions, social connections, transformations and modularity. Collectif Encore creates and designs projects that take into account all of its participants, the richness and diversity that they imply (human, environmental, heritage, etc.) and the value of everything that pre-exists the project itself. This set of specificities creates a unique situation for each project, from which a careful and methodical work allows us to lead to adapted, innovative solutions. Our ambition is to make life more beautiful than architecture, that our projects become richer in reality than on picture, more interesting once inhabited tomorrow, and even more in 10 years. The agency is based in France, in Labastide Villefranche.
