Nicolas Gustin and Miguel Serrano met in Shanghai in 2015, driven by a shared curiosity to explore, learn, and immerse themselves in the Asian world. After years of experience across global metropolises and continents, Paris brought them together to create Contexō.
We approach design as a fluid process, treating constraints as opportunities. Each project starts without preconceptions, shaped by careful analysis of economic, social, political, climatic, and geographic factors. This thoughtful approach allows us to create tailored solutions that meet both present and future needs while uncovering new possibilities.
Iteration lies at the core of our research for a unique and innovative answer.A large amount of digital and physical prototypes are produced and confronted with each other. This extensive design testing phase raises new questions, opens up unexplored possibilities, allows us to rethink and improve archetypal solutions.The design is the result of this rigorousiterative process allowing the highestquality design to emerge.
Contexō’s approach to collaboration focuses on an extended series of intimate collaborations - brainstorms, presentations and workshops - between the client and key project team members.
We make models in foam, wood, and 3D printing. We draft drawings in Rhino, CAD and BIM. We know how to create images. We explore Virtual Reality.
