LEKENA ARCHITECTES is available for new projects

“It is by traveling abroad that you can see your own country better. I understood what humidity brought to Normandy, after seeing what dryness gave to M’Zab. », André Ravéreau and the M’Zab: looking, drawing, building

Lekena is an intercultural architecture agency located in Lille Fives.

We approach each project, whatever the scale, through local culture: way of living, socio-cultural organization, productive processes, etc. We advocate an architecture that reveals places through spatiality, materiality and through construction techniques. construction. It is for us a means of understanding the inscription of environments over time.

The project opens a field for reflection and experimentation. Integration into the context requires a detailed analysis of the constituent elements of its environment. We try to arouse emotions through unique spaces that characterize the daily lives of users.

Our international interventions confront us on a daily basis with different legislation, urbanization, languages ​​and architectural styles. We develop multicultural and multi-scalar projects. Lekena is involved in new construction, rehabilitation, reconversion, elevation, etc.

As the expression goes, “understanding the question…is half the answer.” We are very attentive to demand. We assist our clients in defining the challenges of their project (program, budget, planning, etc.). We thus adapt our approach in terms of interlocutors, skills, tools and representations. We support different project leaders (public entity, individual, promoter, association, etc.)

Very concerned about the evolution of the climate and the environment, we offer bioclimatic architecture wherever possible through the design of spaces, the choice of materials and equipment, the construction process, etc.

In May 2021, according to the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion, “The building sector represents 44% of the energy consumed in France. ".
