Ekstere is an Esperanto word meaning ‘outside’. And it is precisely the (re-)definition of the outside – that is, the public space – which lies at the core of our mission.
Just like Esperanto, a made-up universal language aiming at creating a worldwide community of speakers, the outside we imagine would be enjoyed by many different users – residents, passers-by and travellers alike.

Public space is a vital element of our cities: it is the place of encounters and community life; it is what shapes the form and identity of cities.
For this, Ekstere seeks to bring out the potential of urban spaces as well as experiment innovative and unusual ways of living the existing urban context.

To achieve this vision, we provide design solutions that include both temporary and long-term spatial interventions.
