Every year new concepts and trends emerge within our field of business: intelligent materials, new developments in technology and ways to conserve energy, as well as fashion and interior design trends… Architecture never ceases to evolve and whenever possible, we attend every international fair where the latest innovations in both hotel and residential projects are presented year after year.

We are also often asked about the latest developments in architecture by our end clients, who are interested in finding out the calendar for the most important trade fairs in the habitat sector. Today we are sharing this information for those of you who would like to plan a getaway:
