ATELIER DES LIEUX is available for new projects

L’atelier des lieux was formed around a shared vision of architecture.

To date, the building sector remains a major emitter of greenhouse gases... The profession of architect bears its share of responsibility. For 20 years, the architects who founded this agency have worked with awareness and committed practice. According to them, the challenges of the Anthropocene era invite architectural culture to question new issues and innovative know-how.

Today the ecological thinking of the L’atelier des lieux is focused on existing buildings to be rehabilitated,... the neglected environmental showcases. Working with the “already there” whether landscaped, natural or built offers the possibility of designing places with a low environmental footprint. Rehabilitating makes it possible to preserve existing resources, but Rehabilitating also makes it possible to produce unique spaces, to highlight a heritage of spatial sequences which have been forged over time and which are distinguished by their differences, their roughness: Rehabilitating creates a diversity of places. In other words, preserving ancient materials and the imprint of time provide strong architectural identities to the projects entrusted.

Defending these convictions requires proven practice with strong expertise. L’atelier des lieux  has this know-how: extensive experience in complex operations both in the “studies” and “realization” phases as well as skills in environmental engineering.

L’atelier des lieux  is involved in the restoration, restructuring and enhancement of existing heritage. Their practice also specializes in the use of natural and local materials as well as wood construction. Their working method offers sustainable architecture, certified by recognized environmental labels such as HQE or BREEAM. The agency rehabilitates historic spaces while integrating contemporary technologies guaranteeing comfort and durability.

Dialogue and listening are the key to the success of our achievements.
