The Engineering consulting office ‘Forme & Structure’ is active in the field
of building stability.
The office was created in 2013 by Philippe de Grasse and Nicolas
Delfosse, both certified civil engineers, as a SPRL (limited liability
partnership company), dealing with public and private cases for new
buildings and restorations, as well as expert assignments related to stability.
To date, about 120 cases have been undertaken at a current rate of
around 80 cases per year.

Construction Period 09/2015 - 02/2016
This single-family housing project aims to combine the characteristics of
the locational aspects (land, built environment, orientation, etc.) and the
future occupants (family organisation, etc.).
The building marks the transition between the geometric public space and
the organic private space. This transition is reflected in the organisation of
the plan, the composition of the facade and the volume.
The front facade facing north is closed and geometric, and accommodates
the technical functions (entrance hall, circulation, laundry, bathroom),
while the rear facade facing south is open and curved, and is dedicated to
life functions (living room, kitchen, dining room, bedrooms, etc.).
The construction remains part of the environment, while trying to bring
sense to the spaces.
