SOHO Architecture

What SOHO Architecture does

SOHO Architecture (legal entity SOHO Atlas In Fine) is a French multidisciplinary architecture practice headquartered in Lyon, operating across 13 defined domains of expertise that include healthcare, tertiary offices, housing, sports and recreational facilities, logistics, retail and mixed-use developments. The firm has documented more than 100 projects with reported values ranging from approximately €1.9M to €80M, and its portfolio spans anchor developments such as the M+ Lyon Part-Dieu tower delivered in co-design with international firm KPF. Client work is split between major French property developers and corporates — including Kaufman & Broad, VINCI, Mercedes-Benz, STEF and Caisse d'Epargne — and recurring public-sector mandates with municipalities and agencies such as Mairie d'Avignon, Ville de Lyon, Pôle Emploi and Hôpitaux.

The firm's delivery model is project-based professional services, with revenue earned as architectural and design fees tied to individual mandates rather than recurring subscription or product revenue. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise engagement with developers and corporates and competitive tendering for regulated public-sector work, supported by an in-house multidisciplinary team that allows cross-sector staffing. Sustainability credentials are an explicit commercial lever, with multiple projects certified under BREEAM and HQE frameworks.

Operationally, the firm has expanded beyond its historic Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes base into Île-de-France and Switzerland, added verticals such as coliving and sports facilities to its catalogue, and is actively recruiting staff, signalling organisational build-out. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, proprietary technology platform or funding history in the source material; the firm competes on portfolio depth, multidisciplinary talent, sustainability credentials and developer/institutional relationships rather than on technology differentiation.
