Stella Amae is composed of two distant poles drawn together by a unique vision. France and Japan, Architecture and Fine Arts, two cultures, two disciplines, distant yet complementary.
We are captivated by alterity, the force that fuels our imagination and propels us towards the foreign territories. we keenly observe the differences that unite us and the resemblances that set us apart, all contributing to a new modernity deeply rooted in our rich civilizational heritage.
We're dedicated to delivering cutting-edge architectural solutions, backed by extensive experience in managing global projects. For two decades, our expertise has evolved in tandem with cultural and urban challenges worldwide. We've navigated various paths with optimism and unwavering dedication, and some have etched their mark in our DNA.
In Asia, we have contributed to the design of iconic cultural and leisure buildings. These include a museum dedicated to traditional "Shanshui" Chinese painting, a versatile multifunctional theater and an 'Integrated Resort' that seems to materialize like a mirage on an artificial island in Wakayama, Japan.
In Europe, the French metropolitan development policy has driven us to innovate. Whether it's the conversion of a 200-meter office high-rise in the heart of Paris into a vertical neighborhood or the design of a hybrid high-rise building seamlessly integrating sports, residential areas, office spaces, and facilities for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
In America, we've explored new habitats and lifestyles embraced by younger generations. A Brooklyn co-living residence and theater promoting cultural expression and community while preserving the historical essence of the neighborhood.
In Africa, we recently designed the Archaeological Museum of Carthage in Tunisia, featuring a lantern dome atop the Byrsa hill, showcasing the secrets of Punic and Roman civilizations.
Since 2020, we have been actively engaged in Middle East, designing cultural projects and urban strategies aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030. We have envisioned a striking urban gateway for Riyadh, where an optical illusion reveals a passageway as you pass through it. We've also created a resort that rejuvenates the ecosystem of an island in the Red Sea and we curate an exploration pilgrimage in the Hijaz mountains, promoting agritourism and sustainable rural development, inspired by the travels of botanist and agronomist Ibn Bassal.
