UBD Studio offers the personalised attention and commitment you expect from a small design studio, combined with the established expertise and experience of large multidisciplinary design teams, built on a proven track record of projects ranging from €3M to €350M.
Our mission is to propose, develop, and optimise the key decisions of a project within the current context of project “fabrication”: a process that is multidisciplinary, experimental by both ambition and necessity, often partnership-led, and deeply digital.
Project management (BIM) through shared digital models underpins our collaborative way of working, based on small, agile teams with deep expertise in their respective fields. This organisation avoids the pitfalls of "siloed" working typical of larger structures, where revisions often arrive too late to be effectively optimised.
A design culture rooted in the european context
Pondering the absolute nature of practices and standards, a key to innovation, is not easy without changing the environment. Practising in several countries allows to diversify the points of view, and gives rise to the necessary hindsight to provide a truly creative response to new projects.
In particular, the level of consideration of the environmental impact of projects varies, depending on the country, in time and content: lessons can be learned. Efficient design work, and compliance with a regulation or a label, do not merge to ensure the sustainability of a project.
