Aperçu
Chez akken, nous croyons au pouvoir transformateur de l'architecture, où chaque espace sert
un but plus grand et élève son environnement.
Nous travaillons avec des professionnels et des clients privés pour concevoir des bâtiments résidentiels, des maisons neuves, des extensions, des intérieurs et nous continuons à enrichir notre portefeuille en développant une gamme plus large
de projets à travers différentes échelles et différents secteurs.
Parce que chaque projet possède un caractère unique, nous travaillons à libérer toutes ses potentialités
en termes de valeur, de fonctionnalité et de beauté.
Notre approche du design est efficace, intelligente et responsable, conçue pour améliorer le bien-être des personnes en répondant aux défis de la vie moderne.
N ous accueillons les progrès de notre époque en termes de technologie et nous nous inspirons de différentes expressions des arts, de la culture et des tendances de style de vie, tout en recherchant des singularités qui façonnent notre vision d’un futur environnement bâti plus généreux, inspirant et interactif.
Nassim Brouri
Architect founding director
​
L’intérêt de Nassim pour la qualité du design et l’innovation l’a amené à explorer différents environnements de travail et à collaborer avec des cabinets d’architecture de renom.
Son parcours est une addition de multiples fragments d'expériences qui lui ont donné une grande polyvalence qu'il utilise dans le processus de conception.
Il a acquis une solide expérience dans le secteur de l'architecture de pointe au Royaume-Uni et en France, travaillant sur une variété de projets internationaux dans les domaines de la planification générale, du résidentiel, de l'hôtellerie et de l'usage mixte, des esquisses initiales à l'achèvement.
Il a développé un flair de design et la capacité de comprendre la réalité et le contexte de chaque projet afin d'apporter des solutions intelligentes et adaptées tant aux étapes conceptuelles que techniques.
Il travaille depuis 2021 avec des professionnels talentueux qui partagent
un objectif commun d'innovation et de réussite, accompagner des clients exigeants tout en maintenant des standards de qualité élevés.
1. Understand the Project Requirements
-
Client Needs: Engage with the client to understand their vision, goals, and functional requirements.
-
Site Analysis: Study the site’s context, including climate, topography, orientation, and surrounding environment.
-
Regulations: Research local building codes, zoning laws, and sustainability standards.​
2. Define the Design Concept
-
Concept Development: Create a central idea or theme that guides the design. This could be inspired by the site, culture, or client’s vision.
-
Sketching and Brainstorming: Use sketches, diagrams, and mood boards to explore ideas and visualize the concept.
-
Functional Layout: Plan the spatial organization to ensure the design meets the functional needs of the users.​
3. Incorporate Sustainability
-
Passive Design: Use natural light, ventilation, and thermal mass to reduce energy consumption.
-
Materials: Choose sustainable, locally sourced, and eco-friendly materials.
-
Energy Efficiency: Integrate renewable energy systems (e.g., solar panels) and energy-efficient technologies.​​
4. Focus on User Experience
-
Human-Centered Design: Prioritize comfort, accessibility, and usability for all users.
-
Aesthetics: Balance functionality with visual appeal to create a harmonious and inspiring space.
-
Flexibility: Design spaces that can adapt to changing needs over time.​
​
​6. Collaborate and Iterate
-
Team Collaboration: Work closely with engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders to ensure feasibility and alignment.
-
Feedback Loops: Regularly review and refine the design based on feedback from the client and team.
-
Prototyping: Create physical or digital prototypes to test ideas and identify potential issues.​
7. Document the Design
-
Technical Drawings: Prepare detailed plans, sections, and elevations for construction.
-
Specifications: Provide clear instructions on materials, finishes, and construction methods.
-
Presentation: Use renderings, animations, and virtual reality to communicate the design to stakeholders.
8. Monitor Construction
-
Site Visits: Regularly visit the construction site to ensure the design is being implemented correctly.
-
Problem-Solving: Address any unforeseen challenges during construction with creative solutions.​
9. Evaluate and Learn
-
Post-Occupancy Evaluation: Assess how well the design meets the needs of the users after completion.
-
Reflect and Improve: Use lessons learned to improve future designs.​
Key Principles to Keep in Mind:
-
Contextual Integration: Ensure the design respects and enhances its surroundings.
-
Innovation: Push boundaries while maintaining practicality.
-
Timelessness: Aim for a design that remains relevant and functional over time.
By following this structured yet flexible approach, you can create architectural designs that are functional, sustainable, and inspiring.
Key Characteristics of Engaging Spaces or Architecture:
​
-
Human-Centered Design:
-
Focuses on the needs, behaviors, and emotions of the people using the space.
-
Example: A park with seating areas that encourage conversation and relaxation.
-
-
Sensory Stimulation:
-
Engages multiple senses (sight, sound, touch, smell, and even taste) to create a rich experience.
-
Example: A building with textured walls, natural lighting, and ambient sounds.
-
-
Interactive Elements:
-
Encourages users to interact with the space, whether through physical touch, movement, or technology.
-
Example: A playground with interactive installations that respond to children’s actions.
-
-
Aesthetic Appeal:
-
Uses visually striking design elements, such as unique shapes, colors, or materials, to draw people in.
-
Example: A museum with a bold, sculptural facade that becomes a landmark.
-
-
Flexibility and Adaptability:
-
Allows the space to be used in multiple ways, catering to different activities and user preferences.
-
Example: A community center with movable furniture and modular walls.
-
-
Storytelling:
-
Incorporates a narrative or theme that connects users to the space on an emotional or cultural level.
-
Example: A historical building restored with interpretive displays that tell its story.
-
-
Connection to Nature:
-
Integrates natural elements, such as greenery, water features, or natural light, to create a calming and inviting atmosphere.
-
Example: A workspace with indoor gardens and large windows offering views of nature.
