01 · The briefBuild something that lasts
Not a prototype. A home, handed over and lived in.
The association needed a shelter that would survive Toulouse winters and summers, be moved if needed, and be ready for someone to sleep in the day it arrived. We ran the full cycle: structural sketch, SolidWorks frame, material selection with lifecycle in mind, build, handover.
