ACROSS | Mamout

For each of its commissions, Mamout always experiments with different volumes and therefore produces a large number of small study models in white paper. For renovation projects, this preparation helps them to become more familiar with the existing building.

When developing their projects, materiality only comes on board in a second phase. Dachy and Busana attach great importance to reusing materials and to the circular economy. A good example is their Charles Malis project. Here they transformed a former cigarette factory into the municipal administrative department of Sint-Jans-Molenbeek. The floor is partly fashioned from recovered Brussels cobblestones, which emphasises the public nature of the building.
