At the heart of AvantGardian projects is a unique design approach committed to delivering innovative, sustainable, technologically advanced and aesthetically pleasing products. Our designs aim to create spaces with human experiential quality, spaces that improve users’ overall quality of life while meeting all technical requirements, and spaces that give the feeling of happiness and satisfaction to both client and users.

Our highly collaborative, research-oriented approach seeks to provide solutions to contemporary architectural and urban issues by involving clients, stakeholders and experts from a wide range of fields at the onset of our creative process. Our inclusive design process leads us to deal with issues ranging from sustainability, environment, materials and tectonics to providing reusable/modular solutions to the ever-evolving contemporary building needs.

“Modern life demands, and is waiting for, a new kind of plan, both for the house and the city”

– Le Corbusier
