architects : anouk legendre & nicola desmaziere " through several buildings, they have built up a refined language, precise, which is expressed by serene and light volumes, placed frankly and therefore withhold a unique force of impact. a spirit of «minimalism» has been evoked in their consideration, but it would be, without doubt, more true to see it as, shapes poetically implied in their volumes with the fullness of their materials. the energy put in their constructions, the rational use of the construction resources, robust details, frank color scheme giving a balance between blocks and large spaces, show that all entities are treated very distinctly. the aptness and the refusal of ostentation represents a very demanding patience and research. the main lines of their buildings contain sobriety providing from strong images thoroughly settled, images which appear from the observations of powerful sites." raymond balau reviewer of art and architecture - brussels
