Approach
The axis where strategy takes shape.
Every project is considered as a whole, from the creative intent to the build, with the same standard of control and responsibility.
A whole-project approach
We give form to the identity, the ambitions and the stakes of brands. Creativity, operational rigour, performance and responsibility: four dimensions considered together, from the very first intent, for spaces that are coherent, buildable and designed to last.

01
Creative vision
Bringing out a strong idea from the brand’s identity and ambitions. Architecture, volumes, materials, light and circulation come together around that thread to give the project its coherence and its character.
- Identity
- Architecture
- Experience
02
Operational rigour
Anticipating constraints, coordinating expertise and keeping control of every stage of the project. From design to roll-out, the same standard guides the decisions and the quality of execution.
- Anticipation
- Coordination
- Control
03
Performance & impact
Optimising resources and investment from the design stage, to reconcile performance, adaptability and long-term control of the project.
- Resources
- Investment
- Adaptability
04
Responsibility
Building safety, durability and reuse into the design from the outset, considering the project across its whole life cycle.
- Safety
- Durability
- Reuse

One point of contact, hands-on expertise
The 23.4 Design method rests on first-hand experience of the major trade shows, gained by its founder before the practice was set up. That ground-level knowledge feeds an approach attentive to the realities of each project: technical and regulatory constraints, deadlines, logistics and on-site conditions.
