Architecture Patrick Mauger

What Architecture Patrick Mauger does

Architecture Patrick Mauger is a French architecture firm founded in 1999 by Patrick Mauger, operating as a SARL with €100,000 share capital and headquartered at 48 rue Voltaire in Montreuil, Île-de-France. The firm specializes in the adaptive reuse, transformation, and extension of existing buildings, with particular emphasis on heritage environments and listed structures. Its service offering spans cultural facilities (museums, media libraries, performing arts venues), educational and research buildings (university campuses, laboratories, student facilities), office and commercial buildings, public facilities (courthouses, archives, prefectures), and market halls and food service infrastructure. The firm works in design-build contracts and global performance markets in partnership with major construction companies, assembling tailor-made multidisciplinary teams for each engagement including adapted engineering firms.

A distinguishing technical feature is the firm's neuroarchitecture research methodology, developed in collaboration with Jacques Glowinski of the Collège de France, which establishes parallels between the brain's three primary networks (executive, regulatory, and energetic) and the fundamental dimensions of architecture (spatial organization, spatial perception, and technical systems). The firm also reports a perfected natural ventilation system using thermal chimneys and an integrated environmental design strategy targeting indoor air quality, daylight, thermal comfort, acoustics, and reduced operational energy demand. Projects have achieved HQE, BBC Rénovation, RT 2005/2012, THPE, Effinergie, and BREEAM certifications.

The firm generates revenue through professional service fees on a project basis, sourced via competitive bidding for public sector contracts (ministries, municipalities, universities) and direct commissions from private clients (luxury brands, retail chains, hospitality operators). Notable clients include the Louvre Museum, French Ministry of Justice, French Ministry of Culture, French National Museum of Natural History, Université Paris Cité, Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Institut Français de la Mode, Learning Planet Institute, LVMH (Phillips Auctioneers), Accor, and Monoprix. The team comprises 14 members led by founder Patrick Mauger, with Bertrand Perreaux as Deputy Managing Director. The firm is registered with the Order of Architects of Île-de-France (S04210), and Patrick Mauger has served as Architect-Consultant to the French Ministry of Culture since 2010 and was elected to the Académie d'Architecture in 2022.
