Build well
Design with intention. Build with responsibility. Enhance quality of life.
A vision rooted in practice
We believe that architecture can positively transform living environments. Aware of the impact our actions have on communities, individuals, and the environment, we place occupants’ needs at the center of every decision.
Our projects reflect a deep commitment: building an inclusive, efficient, and resilient future, where the quality of spaces is measured not only by their performance but also by their contribution to collective well-being.
To ensure consistency and excellence, we’ve developed tools such as the project logbook, a living record of key decisions and insights that guides our teams from concept to delivery with clarity and precision.
We foster collective intelligence through integrated ideation workshops, encouraging dialogue, creativity, and collaboration across disciplines to generate innovative, community-focused solutions.

A collective expertise serving every project
Ensuring the longevity of a project requires a holistic approach, integrating functional, technical, social, economic, regulatory, and environmental dimensions.
Our areas of expertise span a broad range of sectors: transportation, living spaces, existing environments, workplaces, healthcare and research, public safety, learning and culture, as well as commercial spaces.
Our firm stands out for its ability to continuously diversify and innovate
The expertise of our architectural team is enriched by specialists in design, building science, heritage, real estate planning, codes and standards, signage, technologies, and sustainable development.

Architecture in the digital age
At STGM, technology is not an end in itself, but a catalyst for collaboration and collective intelligence. Its integration at the heart of our practice is transforming the way we design, communicate, and build.
Designing with precision and purpose
Digital tools are redefining the way we design and amplifying our creativity. The BIM processes and technologies we use help us optimize buildings in a responsible way. Each project thus becomes a living, precise, and intelligent data ecosystem. These digital approaches help us design with accuracy and intent, to anticipate, coordinate, and refine every gesture in order to build resilient environments that are rich with meaning.
Collaborating in real time
Open collaboration is part of our DNA. Cloud-based platforms foster constant exchange between our teams, clients, and partners. This integrated approach strengthens project coherence, reduces uncertainty, and supports informed, collective, and fluid decision-making.
Experimenting and innovating
Virtual reality, 3D printing, and robotics expand the realm of possibilities. They allow us to explore forms, materials, and atmospheres even before construction begins. Technological innovation thus becomes a driver of creativity, serving the well-being of people and the environments we shape.
By integrating technology, STGM combines expertise with sensitivity. We place people, light, and material at the heart of a connected, thoughtful, and responsible architecture, one that builds well, to live better.
Collaborative approach
We prioritize transparency, early-stage collaboration, and shared decision-making to design projects that are fully aligned with our clients’ objectives.
Through close collaboration between architects, engineers, builders, and clients, we ensure better risk management, foster innovation, and uphold the project’s key parameters: budget, program, and schedule.
At STGM, this collaborative approach has proven its value—particularly through the Jacques-Leber Secondary School project, in consortium with NFOE.
Responsibility is how we act.
Since our beginnings, this principle has guided every decision we make and the way we design.
At STGM, each project is an opportunity to contribute to collective well-being with rigor, sensitivity, and an awareness of impact.
