ARCHITECTURE
What we draw is what we build. And what we build must be useful, durable and beautiful for the benefit of the users, because the more architecture is used, the more sustainable it becomes. Usability is about making the architecture spatial, so there will be room for users’ drive. Durability is about building with the climate and creating buildings and places in balance with nature. Beauty is not a luxury. It’s about creating identity that makes users proud and makes them thrive. The architecture is only beautiful when users thrive in it. We are specialising in:
- School building
- Hospital
- Office building

Home renovation
When renovating, we always start from the qualities and potentials that each place contains. We combine residents’ wishes and knowledge of the place with BERCEAU’s interdisciplinary approach to home renovation to future-proof the homes. We engage with the residents, the operations and the department board to create a common vision for the renovation. This dialogue is essential for a long-term and cost-effective mapping of renovation needs. Rather than focusing solely on the urgent need for remedial action, it is often more advantageous to take a broader perspective, look a little further ahead and draw up a comprehensive plan.
