Studio ACTE was founded by French architect Estelle Barriol in Rotterdam (2020), later joined by Fanny Bordes. Inspired by vernacular architectures, practice focuses on low-tech, locally-sourced and bio-based designs to answer the depletion of resources. The work involves small and large-scale architectures, from reused furniture to large rammed-earth buildings, including self-built pavilions made of 100% reused components.
