JFS Architectes, Jean-François Schmit

jean-françois schmit likes to engage in all scales of building and the most diverse projets, for both public and private sector clients : from workplaces, such as an aircraft maintenance hangar on an airport site, to artists’ workshop-apartments on a small parisian plot or a school complex on the urban periphery and an entirely rehabilitated school. these buildings cross-fertilise each other until they form a continuum. the brightness of the volumes, their spaciousness and attractiveness, the concern for integration into the urban framework with deep-rooted respect for the host environment are among the constants of his architecture, contemporary without being elitist or affectedly aesthetic, an architecture that primarily relates to the user.
