Sarah El Yousefy and Nina Ouchinsky, architects who graduated in 2015 from the Faculty of Architecture at Saint-Luc Brussels, have over the years developed a passion for living and organic materials, its application in construction, its hidden stories and everything it produces. As part of their respective practices, they have sought to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector. They have trained in a range of ecological construction techniques, including raw earth, lime and hemp, straw and natural coatings. It's through this approach that they have discovered ancestral know-how and crafts that are on the verge of extinction. But also the impact of excavated earth, particularly in their capital, where much of it ends up in landfill sites. Attracted by the textures, nuances and infinite possibilities of these materials, they wanted to bring them to life through design. In 2023, they decided to combine their talents, their friendship and their passion through the creation of Cru Atelier.
