MEHR üBER RH+ ARCHITECTURE
Profile
Rh+ architecture was born from a meeting of points of view on the architecture’s role, but also on the different ways to manage it to break free from the flat and conceptual prejudices into architecture.More than belonging to a school, our architecture is an attitude. Attitude facing contexts, programs, architectures.
Alix Héaume and Adrien Robain founded rh+ architecture in 2000, and the agency start with projects for private projects managers like the project “Black Box” (the extension of a single-family house) or “Nouvelle Vague” (New Wave, the restaurant and gallery of the Pin Up photo studio) before working on biggest projects like the urban study for the building of a stadium in French Guiana.
At the same time in 2004 and 2006, we organized the “Festival of the Architectures Vives” with some others young Parisian agencies in the goal to “shake the prevailing conservatism” and talk differently about architecture to the public. The same year, our agency was award by the “New 2006 Young Architects Albums Competition” At the Culture and Communication ministry initiative: this competition awards, every 2 years, few brilliant European teams under 35 years old, thanks to their projects quality, their capacity answering topical architectural and urban issues as well as their unique and specific course.
In 2006, our first public buildings began to born: as the youth center of the city of Houilles, in the Paris’ suburbs, then a day nursery in Paris with a blue front, covered with vegetal prints.
Then we worked on various projects: from the restructuring of a mansion to transform it in a fine art workshop, to the extension of the office of the RATP (the company of Publics Transport in Paris) until the transformation of an old garage with several levels to a company headquarters, as well as the black house in Clamart (Parisian suburbs).
In 2012 is the first operation of housing in Paris, with the project “Full Sun”, 28 housing and a day nursery, with a clever system to catch the heat from the front of the building in Paris.
In 2013 the first Guyanese Project with ”Praise to the Shadow”, the university library of Cayenne in French Guiana, a building adapted to the hard climate with a “wood skin” making a tropical peristyle.
Today the agency Work on about twenty projects approximately among two which are at present in phase construction:

” White hat” a hyper-secured office in Cayenne
