Atelier David Telerman

Atelier David Telerman is a Paris-based architectural office, working on various scales with a constant set of preoccupations: geometry, volume, light, and the strong belief that each project should express and reveal the inherent truth of the place it occupies.
This approach materialized in McNeal 020, completed in Southern Arizona, near the border with Mexico. The architecture refers to the vastness of the American desert, its position and geometry revealing specific characteristics of the surrounding landscape. Architecture takes on its full meaning when it reveals the unseen qualities of nature.
In 2025, the studio was invited to present its work at the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale as part of the Time Space Existence exhibition.
