Guillaume Baud

HMONP qualified architect | Manager

“Stone, wood and cement are used to build houses and palaces. It’s ingenuity at work. But all of a sudden, you take it to the heart, you make me feel good, I’m happy, I say: that’s beautiful. This is architecture. Art is here”. This quote from Le Corbusier sums up Guillaume’s path to architecture. It is through attention to detail, constructive truth, sobriety of means and a refusal of the easy that he seeks to bring his production towards an architectural emotion.

Anaïs Cesca

Construction Economist I Referent to construction economics and work monitoring

Originally from Samoens, Anaïs worked for more than 8 years as a construction economist before joining the Deffert-Baud architecture agency, including 5 years honing her knowledge with fellow architects in mountain areas. By joining our team, it is quite natural that she becomes a reference for the agency’s works division to bring her professionalism and rigor as an experienced economist to projects.

Tom-Alexandre Peillon

State Qualified Architect I Draughtsman

Tom developed a course that took him from the study of materials to architecture. His choice to spend his years of architectural studies in two different schools was motivated by the search for varied teaching. It was through the discovery of Swiss architecture and in particular the relevance of its relationship to the site that he decided to choose the mountain as a testing ground for his architectural practice. Since his time using Archicad software, Tom has been the agency’s 3D referent.
