SEP '24   TALK
STORY BEHIND ARCHITECTURAL HOUSING

Founding Principal Antoine Meinnel shared his insights on how to design homes rather than houses, at a dialogue organized by The Gentry hub. The engaging panel discussion that follow shed a light on the importance of the collaboration with owners and the duty of the architect to advise. We appreciated to interact with students and young professionals in this setting. There was a lot of curiosity about the process of Bloom when using local materials in unconventional ways.
