BESSARDs Studio’s design process begins with gathering ‘what’s there’, to appreciate and the atmosphere of a place, to feel the culture of an object and to piece together the constellation of details that can make a project unique; at the same time, it is essential to develop and nurture a personal relationship with clients, to gain an empathic understanding of needs, wishes and desires.
This is essential to fully understand what a client really wants, which in our experience is always more than just a functional solution to a practical problem. Identifying the ideal terms of a project, and keeping them front and centre throughout the process of design and realization, is the best way to achieve a result that transcends the commonplace.
Ideals are always plural. Therefore, BESSARDs Studio never narrows down the design process immediately to one single idea, but always explores an array of possibilities. Working with multiple approaches allows us to deepen the dialogue with the client. And it helps to find the right solutions that are flexible and adaptable all along the process. It also helps to make the outcome everyone’s own, and loved.
For architecture and design to be loved requires excellent craftmanship, high-quality materials, and care and attention for durability and the possibility to repair. This is how BESSARDs Studio conceives beautiful and functional projects.
