Why hire an architect?   
 
  
                                        
- An architect is a professional, who thanks to his training and skills, can      create or reshape a
 tailored space.
- His role is to guarantee a service, to support you from design to project      execution.
- The architect makes sure that the final      result is in line with technical, budgetary and 
 administrative constraints      (going beyond purely aesthetic details).
- He supervises the works and makes sure the appropriate materials      are used according 
 to      requirements and specifications.
- He coordinates the tasks of all the craftsmen      working on the project.
- An architect's opinion is objective, he      is completely independent from the companies that 
 will execute your      project.
- Having an architect from the design phase      and mostly during execution is a guarantee of 
 a quality architectural and      technical product, supported by a useful and precise organisation.

Extensions

 than new construction.

- Reflection phase and optimising the interactions between the old      and the new spaces: 
 integration and respect.

 with a contemporary touch?
- Consequences in terms of volume, shapes,      materials and colours...
- ID-espace takes into account technical aspects: can the existing      building structure 
 be extended? Analyse the soil? Possible connection of      equipment on existing installations?
- An extension often entails modifying      external space: influences and optimisation.
 
New construction
