Atelier d'architecture Chaix & Morel et Associés

Architects Philippe Chaix and Jean-Paul Morel have been partners since 1983. During their joint career, they have revealed a sober elegance to their projects, which blend delicately into their environment while highlighting its contrasts a subtle form of expression designed to adhere closely to the authenticity of the materials and the structural concepts; a continuous study of light, described as a substance that reveals and creates space. The agency's tertiary section is currently raising its international profile, in partnership with JSWD Architekten, based in Cologne, for the development plan of the Thyssen Krupp project in Essen, which brings the Thyssen Krupp Group's subsdiaries and head office together in a single 95,000 m² complex. The agency currently comprises a team of other six partners: Rémy Van Nieuwenhove, Walter Grasmug, Anabel Sergent, Denis Germond, Benoit Sigros and Rémi Lichnerowicz.
