We have worked together with Swiss designers, Jaccaud Zein Architects on our development at Shepherdess Walk and really respect them for their precise approach to detailing and material finishes. They embraced the Solidspace DNA in their designs and made this project a true and successful collaborative process.
Jaccaud Zein Architects, in their own words…
Jaccaud Zein Architects was founded in 2012 in London as a partnership between Jean-Paul Jaccaud and Tanya Zein. Both partners are of Swiss origin and graduated from the Ecole Polytecnique Federale de Lausanne Switzerland (EPFL).
Our work is sustained by an interest for interventions in complex built environments with strong specific identities. All our projects draw on their context to provide sensitive and specific responses and a strong emphasis is put on the definition of atmosphere and the sense of place.
We maintain a firm belief in the values of craftsmanship and of know-how. The physical and emotional properties of construction play an important part in all our projects, as do materials by their sensual properties and their patina and wear.
We have indepth experience of housing and are constantly seeking modes of inhabitation adapted to contemporary lifestyle that leave space for adaptation and individuality.
Jaccaud Zein Architects is a sister practice of Jean-Paul Jaccaud Architectes in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2012 they won the first prize RIBA International Award (in partnership with Sergison Bates Architects) for an urban housing and crèche in Geneva.
