ADVISORY VISIT
Do you live between Ustaritz, Espelette and Hasparren?
Dear neighbors, my name is Martin Ceder. After working in large studios in Stockholm and London, I am now starting my own architecture studio here in the Basque Country, in Halsou.
Passionate about people's well-being, I have made it my mission to bring alignment, breath and joy into their homes.

The consultation visit is a quick diagnostic and strategic exchange to determine whether your project is feasible, what budget to aim for, and what steps to take. It's often the first step before entrusting a preliminary project or a full project if you decide to move forward. The consultation visit does not include detailed plans or precise costing of the work.
1. Preparation in advance
Brief overview of the property (photos, plans if available, description).
Telephone or email discussions to identify your expectations: budget, uses, desires, constraints.
