A 2005 graduate of the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Paris-Malaquais, Mathieu Holdrinet founded the m+ agency in 2010. The agency's primary goal is to ensure quality meter per meter: m+. The firm is committed to delivering sustainable responses on an urban and architectural scale. Emphasis is placed on the relevance of urban integration and the constructive quality of each project, with a predilection for timber-frame construction. With its m+ carpenter and m+ architects, the studio occasionally joins forces with other architectural firms to reenergize its activities and enter into partnerships with carpenters at the outset of projects in order to better share their know-how. m+ do better with less.
