01
Transform
Reveal the value of what exists.
Intervene with precision, keep what deserves keeping and move the place towards new uses.
Revealing the potential of places, in dialogue with their history.
Ad Astra sees every project as an attentive transformation of what exists. The history of the place, its uses, light, proportions and materials guide the project.

Approach
02
Raise
Gain space without spreading. Compose with what is already there.
Extend an existing building while respecting its proportions, its structure and its identity.
03
Join
Create links between spaces.
Join rooms, flats or volumes to regain space, light and new continuities.
04
Draw
From the building to the furniture. Care for the detail.
Think the project at every scale: architecture, interiors, fitted joinery, cabinetwork and furniture.
