Atelier Ordinaire design minimal wooden holiday home near Aix
Architect Thomas Walter set up his studio in 2014 and was joined by artist and costume designer Angèle Maillard in 2019, forming Atelier Ordinaire. Together, the team seeks to create designs rooted in craftsmanship and clever use of quality materials. Their manifesto declares their aim ‘to remain simple and sincere in every way’. Their house in the southern community of Venelles reflects this approach, made in immaculately produced joinery, clean forms and a delicately unassuming yet unmistakable modern form.
