Since 2015, Atelier INTI Architecture has defined itself as architects craftsmen of matter and space. Our previous experiences in Paris and abroad have led us to become passionate about the issue of housing, and our association was thus born out of a desire to question our relationship to habitable context, at the heart of the Grenoble basin’s territory

We are above all, attached to our territory. We are attached to these mountains and valleys that border greater Grenoble, to its built heritage and its history. We left Paris to create Atelier INTI in this territory which is dear to us and which nourishes us.

Our school of thought is the product of the combination of all our experiences, travels, studies and previous jobs. Our most important influences come from the great masters like Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe, to our professors from the Grenoble school of architecture (Guy Depollier and Dominique Chapuis); and from that of Mérida (Augusto Quijano, Jorge Carlos Zoreda, Javier Muñoz)

In our vision, architecture is a wise balance between theory and practice. We approach each project methodologically, through a design process whose objective is to question the many recurring themes and problems in architecture, while trying to provide solutions to the architectural program.

The architectural design process is a complex task that consists of materializing a unique solution, capable of simultaneously satisfying a series of diverse requirements, each one of a very different nature. However, architecture goes beyond the mere solving of the function; its permanence persists in time long after its creator or owner has left. It is the witness of history that becomes heritage, and hence the importance of bequeathing quality projects to future generations.

Despite the above, we believe that the ultimate goal of architecture is to improve the quality of life of men and women. That is why we believe that design must be centered on the user and not on the ego of the architect. We must not forget the importance of the human scale, nor the spiritual part; architecture as an art is capable of transmitting emotions and provoking feelings that transcend pure functionality and aesthetics.

Our methodology comes initially with the analysis of the site, its context and its geography, as well as taking a position, questioning the concepts of existing references, and thus composing a corpus of architectural references in connection with the project in order to to derive models, layouts, devices, transposable and adaptable figures for the project. We thus question the scale of the projects of the corpus, their relevance, their functioning, their origins, thus opening the door to the specificities of the project, to its own identity, by a sketch work which thus comes in application of the preliminary rather theoretical work. .

In each of our projects we tend to develop architectural notions with which we have a certain affinity, such as materiality, geometry, frame, aestheticism of the layout, durability, regulating lines, rhythms, composition. We defend the main principles in which we find ourselves, and with which we compose to design an architecture that is unique and unique to us, such as “Less is more” by Mies Van Der Rohe, “Form follows function” by Louis Sullivan, or even Ornament and Crime by Adolf Loos.

We also tend towards the search for a certain elegance while praising simplicity, in a quest for an almost frugality, which is more akin to voluntary formal and structural modesty. We are in love with the details, the way of building, of doing, it is from this that we derive our name of Workshop, it the image of craftsmen, who repeats a know-how and thousand-year-old gestures to achieve a thoughtful and worked result, we seek in our practice this subtlety which is sometimes lacking in this world, it is a quest for elegance and refinement through sobriety.

Every time we have a new project in our hands, we consider it in its entirety, including its construction works. Too often we regret the loss of control that comes to happen to some of our fellow architects who do not carry out themselves the construction of their own desigs . We believe that architecture should be as close as possible to the reality of the profession and construction. Its in the practice of these principles that we excel, and where we hope that the future exercise of the profession will be oriented. This desire to carry out the construction of our designs has led us to acquire a certain know-how and expertise, which translates into structural and spacial intelligence that is felt in the design of our projects, from the very start. pencil until the keys are handed over.

In our opinion, the architect must be a builder. This is the only way to maintain and consolidate the success, the finesse of a project. Beauty is inherent in the well-thought-out structure. It is often in the reality of materials and physical forces as well as in a radical and simple geometry that we develop the aestheticism of projects.
