h2o architectes is a architectural firm that was founded in 2005 by Charlotte Hubert and Jean-Jacques Hubert. Antoine Santiard joined as a partner in 2008. In 2016, the three partners created Eugène Architectes du Patrimoine to address the challenges of restoring Heritage status buildings.
The firm is specialized in heritage and urban design and reconfiguration. It develops a variety of programs on different scales: housing, public spaces, new neighborhoods, work and educational environments, and cultural facilities.
Faced with the complexity of the contexts addressed and their heritage or social characters, the firm has built an agile approach, capable of resolving situations in unique ways, through concerted action. Projects are designed to be open-ended, in a finely balanced dialogue with the history of the site, systematically questioned and always enriched.
Initial programs are questioned with the goal of transcending the initial commission and creating renewed sites that can be freely appropriated by their users. More than just spaces, h2o architectes constructs places to be enjoyed and experienced.
