SAME is a Paris-based architecture and design studio specializing in materials of biological and geological origin, founded by Anaïs Estrade and Marc-Antoine Servella. Their architectural approach is constantly challenged by ecological, social, and human issues. As a team, they design with local needs and resources in mind.
They address issues at the territorial and architectural level with meticulous attention to detail. Each problem is addressed through complete synergy between the architectural response and its context. Their experience allows them to consider the durability of buildings and their flexibility of use, resulting in ambitious projects.
Anaïs Estrade studied at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture Paris Val de Seine, graduating in 2009. Desiring to create architecture that reflected her own unique style, she continued her training at the Institut Français d'Urbanisme. After several years at an agency, driven by her desire for independence and the practice of her values, she joined Marc-Antoine Servella. She integrates themes of transformation, reuse, and bio-based materials into her projects.
Marc-Antoine Servella holds a degree in Architecture from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Val de Seine and a master's degree from the Politecnico di Milano. In 2016, he founded SAME architectes, where he develops both object- and architectural-scale projects with the same high standards. He aspires to make architecture a cooperative, sensitive, and fair discipline, incorporating an artisanal and innovative dimension.
Marc-Antoine also teaches at the ESA (French School of Architecture) while also working at SAME.
