We are specialized in compiling, archiving and preserving in an appropriate format selected to be most ideal for keeping each of the wisdoms and ideas emanated in the course of architectural history.

Our company name ‘Echelle-1’ stands for ‘full scale’ or ‘1 to 1 scale’ in French. By fully integrating and utilizing the latest in digital technology, we offer the high resolution images that would even convey the texture or the feel of the originals. Myriads of important architectural drawings, rare design and construction documents and other materials are now unfortunately in the process of being damaged, and thus deteriorating rapidly largely from accumulated years and poor maintenance. So before those are lost, we, at Echelle-1, are putting together those drawings, documents and materials into various formats and media such as digital archives and cloud-based big-data, photographs and video/film images in DVDs, and print and digital books, all for preservation so that those would collectively enable the easier and more accessible future utilization.
