Before discussing architecture, design, or materials, we first seek to understand the people who will inhabit the space.
Because the same environment can be a source of rejuvenation for one person but generate stress for another. That's why we have developed our own design method.
Our approach is based on a series of exclusive diagnostics that allow us to better understand the project, but above all the future occupants.
Inspired by neuroscience, environmental psychology, and the three-brain model, this method helps us translate often intuitive needs into concrete design decisions.
The Experiential Methodᴰᴼᴹᴱᶜᴼ
-
01
Observe
We analyze the site, the existing building, technical constraints, the architectural context, natural light, intended uses, and the potential of the location.
Each project has its own identity. Our role is first to reveal it. -
02
Understand
Through an initial questionnaire, we explore your daily life.
Your habits. Your rhythm. Your way of entertaining. Your moments of calm. Your sources of stress.
We seek to understand your way of living.

Decipher
This is where our approach becomes truly unique.
Each occupant completes our Habitatᴰᴼᴹᴱᶜᴼ Profile, an exclusive diagnostic developed by Domeco.
This questionnaire helps us better understand how each person perceives their environment across three complementary dimensions.

Feel
Even before choosing a material, we define the emotions each space should convey.
Calm. Energy. Focus. Connection. Intimacy. Openness.
We then work with light, volumes, textures, colors, contrasts, sounds, and views to bring these sensations to life.

Materialize
Materials are never chosen solely for their aesthetic appeal.
They become tools that serve the experience.
Natural mineral paints and plasters remain at the core of our identity, alongside other materials selected for their sensory, sustainable, and human qualities.

Giving life
Depending on the mandate, we collaborate with your design team or provide project support through to completion.
Our role is to preserve the original intention defined at the very beginning of the process.
A human-centric approach.
A building can be remarkable.
But what truly makes an impression on people is how they feel when they enter, live in, and return to it.
Our approach brings this dimension to light from the very first thoughts of a project, so that each decision contributes to the same objective:
to create places that care for those who inhabit them.
