ARLAB

ARLAB SA engages in a collective pursuit of uncovering ideas and architectural processes. Our core is motivated by the modulation of the space through minimal interventions like devices and innovative design applications. Launched in 2019 by Marianne Ghorayeb, and Romain D’Incau, our cross-disciplinary Studio is lead by a team of architects, designers, and artists. We produce urban design-related projects ranging in scope and context, from houses, museums, and public schools in Switzerland and France to small-scale interventions and townhouse renewal in New York City. Our projects emphasize human experiences by creating environments that are both environmentally and socially responsible yet aesthetically progressive. Our architectural practice is bonded to permanent research regarding historical references and new digital technologies. We want to offer “the best for the least for the most”. The best possible quality for the least amount of money, for most of the people. We use the tools of artists and craftmen (scale models, molding and sculpture), to articulate our ideas into materiality. Our work is an ongoing, ever-evolving process of collaboration. We like to approach each project from the context in which is set up, and we are proud of our theoretical and practical “know-how”, which we have developed over the years. Additionally, we rely on the collaborative aspect of creating architecture with different eyes and hands, different cultures, countries and social backgrounds, as we believe that collaboration is the key to push any ideology beyond its boundaries.
