The agency’s guiding principle, “Minimalism and more”, reflects a constant pursuit of balance between pared-down architecture and subtle refinement—always with an unwavering focus on comfort and functionality.
Founded in 2015 by Aurélien Duny, a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-La Villette, DUNY Architecture is dedicated to revealing and enhancing the potential of existing spaces. The agency’s approach is rooted in a philosophy that values the living environment through careful attention to the qualities of the original structure. Each project is an exploration of the possibilities offered by the site, with the goal of improving its use while respecting its history and unique character.
DUNY creates worlds where simplicity meets elegance. The agency designs warm, minimalist, and generous atmospheres—spaces where functionality and beauty coexist in harmony with the people who inhabit them.

The deliberate choice of a single material – this raw, sensory, and warm terracotta – allows the architecture to gently fade into the background, giving prominence to the exhibited pieces. It is a restrained and coherent language, where form follows gesture, and gesture follows function.
This project offers a contemporary interpretation of a modernist apartment, through a restrained, luminous, and carefully crafted intervention.
This project (in progress) reimagines the space as a sensitive refuge — an intimate and serene place where every architectural detail encourages relaxation.
A quiet oasis, sheltered from the outside world — discreet, essential, and calming.
Far from stylistic flourishes, this renovation stands out for its discreet refinement, attention to detail, and clarity of intent. A deep, understated elegance that serves a space brought back to life. Detail as a guiding thread.
