The Zome
History and symbolism
Vivant
A singular architecture
The zome is a rare architectural form. Its atypical geometry, visible from the outside, creates a strong presence in the landscape and a direct relationship with the surrounding nature.

The origin of zome
This singular geometric form was brought to light by a Russian crystallographer in the early XXᵉ century. His research into natural structures later inspired the use of zome in alternative architecture.
EN SAVOIR PLUSMYSTIC
Unique geometry
The zome is a complex geometric volume created by transforming a cube on itself. Its particular structure creates atypical interior volumes and a different perception of space.

Golden number & sacred geometry
Zome uses proportions derived from the golden ratio and sacred geometry, present in many historic buildings, to create a natural balance of volumes.
EN SAVOIR PLUSNatural
A dialogue with nature
The geometry of the zome echoes the forms found in nature. Spirals, symmetries and repetitive motifs remind us that architecture can draw inspiration directly from living things.

Geometry and architecture
For centuries, artists, architects and mathematicians have been exploring geometric shapes to understand and represent the world. The zome is part of this tradition of research into the harmony of volumes.

Ecological
Designed to blend in with its surroundings, the zome is built mainly of wood and glass, with ecological hemp-based insulation. Its design limits the impact on the landscape and respects the natural site.
