Ici Architectes

Founded in 2010 by Aurélie Maes, Olivier Goffin, Loïc Hermant and Jeremy Plateau, Ici has worked across all typologies and scales, developing a vision of simple, functional yet refined spaces. Projects by the tight-knit team include Acacia (pictured), the transformation and extension of a single detached family house on the edge of the Sonian Forest in Belgium. noussommesici.be
