Delordinaire
Paris-based Delordinaire was founded in 2015 by Adrian Hunfalvay, Erwan Lêveque and Jean-Philippe Parent. They met while working on a series of projects in Chicago, and drew on their various points of departure – Australia, France and Canada – to create atypical combinations of architectural forms, such as High House (pictured), a unique and minimalist take on the private chalet in Quebec, Canada. delordinaire.com
