ANMA Architectes Urbanistes

What ANMA Architectes Urbanistes does

ANMA Architectes Urbanistes Paysagistes is a Paris-headquartered professional services practice founded in 2003 (incorporated as a private firm with 51-100 employees) that delivers an integrated offering across three disciplines: architecture, urban planning, and landscape design. Its project mix spans transit infrastructure (notably the Gare de Saint-Maur Créteil station on the Société du Grand Paris / Grand Paris Express network), educational facilities (École Hugo-Zola in Mainvilliers, Lycée Pierre Brossolette in Villeurbanne), sports and cultural venues (Complexe sportif Marie-José Pérec in Colombes, Centre Dramatique Régional in Tours), housing and eco-districts (Coteau en Commun in Villejuif, Quai 22 in Saint-André-Lez-Lille), and defense infrastructure (Quartier Général de la Défense Belge in Brussels, SHAPE in Casteau). The firm is led by founder Nicolas Michelin with associated architect Olivier Calvarese and publishes a recurring project magazine (#7 in 2025).

The firm's economic model is conventional project-based professional services: revenue is earned through fixed design fees on individual commissions, with new work acquired primarily via French public-sector architectural competitions (concours) and direct commissions from public agencies and private developers. Its core differentiator is the combination of architectural, urban-planning, and landscape expertise within a single firm, with a documented focus on bio-sourced materials (notably wood construction), sustainable-building certifications (E+C-, Label Biosourcé, Label Biodivercity), and biodiversity integration in urban projects. Delivery is almost always executed in consortium with specialized engineering partners (Systra, HDA, OTE, Edeis) and sustainability consultants (Sinteo, Maya Construction Durable), with ANMA typically acting as architectural lead and consortium coordinator.

Customer concentration sits primarily in the French public sector — municipalities, metropolitan authorities, public agencies such as Société du Grand Paris, AEFE, éCo.urbain, and Tours Communauté d'Agglomération — supplemented by private developers such as Pichet. Geographically, projects span at least 12 French metropolitan regions and 5 international markets (Belgium, Morocco, China, Germany, Poland), giving the firm a meaningful but still France-anchored international footprint without constituting a global practice.

Core offering

ANMA is a Paris-based architecture, urban planning, and landscape design practice offering three integrated service lines: architectural design of public and private buildings (schools, housing, sports complexes, transit stations, theaters, offices); urban planning for renewal, eco-districts, and station-area developments; and landscape architecture for public spaces, green corridors, and biodiversity projects. Deliverables are professional design services billed on a project-by-project basis, with a strong specialization in sustainable construction (wood, bio-sourced materials) and ecological integration in dense urban contexts.

Product overview

ANMA Architectes Urbanistes is an architecture, urban planning, and landscape design firm based in Paris. The company operates as a unified practice offering three core service areas: Architecture (designing buildings across sectors including education, sports, housing, and public facilities), Urban Planning (managing complex urban renewal, eco-district, and station area projects), and Landscape Design (creating public spaces, parks, and ecological corridors). The firm does not operate a software product, platform, or technology offering — its deliverables are architectural and planning services delivered through traditional project-based engagements.
