Arcad.26

What Arcad.26 does

Arcad.26 is a privately held French architecture firm (Société par actions simplifiée, SAS) operating from a single office at 6 rue des Bordes in Louhans, Saône-et-Loire (department 71). Founded in 1995 by the association of two DPLG architects including Laurent VALLAS, the firm has been operating for nearly 30 years and currently employs approximately five people, led by Laurent VALLAS (Président, Architecte DPLG) and Florine MASSOT (Vice-présidente and Directrice générale since February 2022, Architecte HMONP). The firm executes the full French architectural mission defined by the loi MOP — diagnostic, APS, APD, PRO/DCE, execution studies, construction supervision, and project reception — across residential, public equipment, collective housing, tertiary, and rehabilitation projects.

The service portfolio spans three core disciplines (Architecture, Urban Planning, Landscape design) and is supplemented by specialized modules including Interior Design (targeting hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues) and Building Rehabilitation. Underlying technology consists of standard CAD and architectural drawing tools used for plans, feasibility studies, diagnostics, and project documentation; no proprietary software, platform, API, or AI/ML components are evident. The firm serves two primary customer segments — Particuliers (private individuals building, extending, or renovating homes) and Professionnels/Collectivités (professionals and public entities commissioning public equipment, schools, healthcare facilities, administrative buildings) — within a reactive radius of under 1 hour 45 minutes covering primarily Saône-et-Loire (71) and Jura (39), with secondary reach into Yonne (89), Côte-d'Or (21), Doubs (25), and Isère (38).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees tied to French architectural mission phases, not recurring contracts. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with customer acquisition via direct outreach, local reputation, the firm website (arcad26.com, hosted by OVH and built on Local.fr), and a Facebook page. The firm is available Monday–Friday 8h–18h for consultations. No pricing is publicly disclosed; quotes are produced per project. There is no evidence of paid advertising, content marketing programs, self-serve channels, or any external investors or capital structure beyond the two principal architects who control the SAS.

Broad incumbents

• Architecture-Studio: Major French architecture firm with a global portfolio spanning architecture, urbanism, and landscape. It is comparable as a French multi-disciplinary architecture practice, but operates at much larger scale and across international geographies, whereas Arcad.26 is a regional boutique.
• Wilmotte & Associés: Paris-based architecture and design firm covering architecture, urban planning, interior design, and landscape. Comparable on breadth of services and French professional-services positioning, but at a substantially larger scale across luxury, cultural, and mixed-use projects.
• AIA Life Designers: French architecture firm with deep expertise in healthcare (EHPAD), education, and public-equipment sectors — overlapping directly with Arcad.26's public-sector client base. Much larger headcount and national footprint, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct competitor for local tenders.
• Patriarche: French architectural group offering architecture, urbanism, interior design, and project economics across multiple sectors. Comparable service stack (architecture + économiste + interior design) and French market focus, but operates nationally at scale versus Arcad.26's regional base.
• Groupe-6: Grenoble-based architecture, urbanism, and landscape design firm with a similar pluridisciplinary positioning to Arcad.26. Operates at a larger scale across France and serves both public and private clients, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct regional competitor.
• Jean-Paul Viguier et Associés: Major French architecture firm with Paris, London, and international offices covering architecture, urbanism, and interior design. Comparable as a full-service French architecture practice serving mixed public and private clients, but at a much larger and more international scale.
• Coldefy & Associés: French architecture firm operating in urban planning, public architecture, and large-scale mixed-use projects. Comparable on French public-sector architecture and urbanism focus, but with a larger project portfolio and team.
• DTACC (D'autres Travaux Architecturaux): French architecture firm involved in public equipment, housing, and rehabilitation projects. Comparable on the rehabilitation and public-equipment use cases that Arcad.26 also targets, but operating at larger scale and across multiple French regions.

Direct peers

• CALQ Architecture: French full-service architecture firm offering architecture, urbanism, and interior design for both private and public clients. Closely comparable in service mix and French mid-market positioning to Arcad.26, sitting closer to the same scale though typically serving larger metropolitan areas.
• Atelier d'Architecture Vincent Boidin: French architecture studio with a comparable mid-size multi-disciplinary profile covering architecture, urbanism, and rehabilitation. Comparable as a French regional architecture practice offering similar end-to-end design services for public and private clients.
