Studio ACTE is a Dutch-French architecture practice founded in Rotterdam by Estelle Barriol. The studio specializes in exploring resilient forms of architecture inspired by vernacular systems, with an emphasis on low-tech and geo-sourced designs based on reuse. Through their design and build method, the studio seeks to create regenerative architectures that promote collective self-building processes and prioritize craftsmanship and aesthetics as an equation towards sustainability. They place a strong emphasis on hands-on research to create unique built forms focusing on details and assemblies instead of standard elements.
