SAMA, Architecture + Interior design
Sama is an international architectural practice based in Paris since 2022.
Founded in 2016 by Emmanuel Sallès, we deliver vibrant, exciting and creative architecture.
We are convinced that good architecture makes life better.
The aesthetics of our architectural design is dictated not by predetermined stylistic conventions, but by factors that influence a given client, a given site and a given program.
This does not mean we no longer make "personnal statement", but we have realized that building today requires a tolerance and an openess that are ill suited to a dogmatic approach.
To each rule there are exceptions.
Our architecture is more than anything else the sum of those exceptions.
