Fine-tuned team

Profile. Two brothers, Michel and Daniel, like two sides of the same coin. Architects and designers, at the head of their own agency since 1987, they focus on spare volumes and judicious lighting to bring out the essential in a space. Latest projects. For Cartier they recently delivered The Residence, an apartment in Geneva for receiving VIP customers. Their commissions in France include a duplex with the feel of a landlocked ship overlooking the Eiffel Tower, an apartment at Invalides in Paris and a brick house in Normandy that they conceived from the ground up. A 40-meter yacht for San Lorenzo will set sail this spring—their second such craft, for which they were asked to design everything stem to stern.
