With a solid work experience on complex projects, technically, geometrically or in interfaces synthesis
Using detailed sketches, Elxir allows you early in the design process to:
clarify the eventual subjects to address about the building envelopes of your project,
define some robust principles,
identify useful orders of magnitude,
and identify the possible technological barriers to overcome.
Always looking for alternatives,Elxir has extensive knowledge not only of a wide range of materials, as well as their manufacturing and processing methods, as well as the various enclosure systems. (especially for complex double curvature surfaces)
Elxir offers “material and technologies” reports which include
references of projects and specialized companies
comparative analyzes,
taking into account the economic realities of the project
Glass in all its forms
Among all the materials, glass has a privileged place in our practice
coated glasses, reflective, anti-reflective, dichoic, enamelled, sandblasted, acid etched
thermoformed, molded, printed, blown,
flat, cylindrical or spherical, curved, free form,
plate, block, bricks, tile, bar, extruded profils …
Clients and Partners
Since its creation, Elxir has had the opportunity to participate in many projects,
through direct assistance missions (Gehry partner, Snohetta, Kim Sooja Studio, RDAI, AAPP, Outsign, Galerie Lafayette, LVMH, B. Zavattini Light Consulting, ItsOk)
or as a subcontractor for other partner or company design offices (RFR Shanghai, TESS, Petit, VCF, Vicat)
Some of the references presented are projects in which Philippe Bompas participated as study manager at ASI and RFR sas before creating Elxir.
