RF STUDIO is available for new projects

Arthur De Bellescize and Raphaël Fournier Architects HMONP and DE recently joined forces to expand the potential of their practice both in terms of the scale of their projects and the geographic areas of intervention. The scope of the collaborations now includes the departments of Paris, Val-De-Marne, Essonne, Loir-Et-Cher and Indre-Et-Loire.

Trained in “Pro Paille” accreditation, and enriched by constructions with ecological ambition, the duo will work on the individual project while remaining vigilant to the question of the environmental footprint, providing advice and ecological solutions while respecting constraints of project owners.

Their achievements include apartment renovations or building extensions, whether for individual or collective housing. New creations or improvements to existing ones include both commercial buildings and artisanal activity premises.

The approach used will consist of first evaluating the capacities of the existing system, its qualities and its defects, with a view to reusing and conserving what exists, in order to have the most appropriate field of action while proposing a reduced environmental footprint.

The relationships between the architect and the project owner are fluid and continuous during the activity periods defined on the agenda. The visits and discussions will be part of the process of monitoring the project owner's requests because it is the latter who will benefit from the project.

The files can be followed from the feasibility study to site acceptance. They will take charge of carrying out authorization requests for the construction of your project, compliance with standards and communication with urban administrations, throughout all phases of the operation.

To successfully carry out the assigned missions, all means available will be used: from hand drawings and physical models, to advanced project representation and visualization tools. The use of a 3D or BIM model makes it possible to make the image and the use that the creation will have more accessible.

Arthur De Bellescize and Raphaël Fournier excel in the practice of so-called ecological architecture. Each project adopts a global and coherent approach from its conception. The environment where the building is located is taken into consideration allowing the final project to integrate perfectly. This approach favors natural light, thus contributing to the reduction of energy consumption in addition to an efficient thermal envelope. The choice of materials is of course not left to chance and the use of natural and local resources reinforces the ecological coherence of the project.

Their achievements include the construction of two chalets used as accommodation during meditation retreats in a Buddhist monastery. The project, with a wooden frame and hemp insulation, seeks energy savings and carbon neutrality.

Another notable achievement, a detached house entirely insulated with straw bales, in the heart of a region with remarkable heritage. The house integrates into its environment while seeking a contemporary aesthetic.

Humans are at the heart of this reflection and can take the form of a participatory project, a source of meeting, sharing and supervised learning.

You have a construction or renovation project and wish to adopt a reasoned environmental approach, the duo Arthur De Bellescize and Raphaël Fournier will be able to make your vision a reality.
