What Architects and Partners does

Architects and Partners, commercially known as Archipart, is a French architecture firm founded in October 1994 and operating as a Société d'Architecture under the legal form SARL AU with €80,000 of share capital. The firm is headquartered in Eckbolsheim near Strasbourg and is held by three founding partners — Philippe Kretz (Architecte DPLG Urbaniste), Denis Uhlmann, and Christophe Westphal (Maître d'Oeuvre Associé) — who continue to lead the practice. It is registered at the Ordre des Architectes under national inscription N°2949 and regional N°78, and was rebranded from Architectes et Partenaires to Archipart in January 2023.

The firm delivers full-scope architectural services spanning studies, design, permitting, and construction supervision (mission complète) across residential, public, healthcare, commercial, sports, educational, and industrial building typologies. Project scale ranges from small renovations (~25 m²) to large industrial extensions (~15,443 m²), with documented expertise in bioclimatic design, BBC and RE 2020 compliance, green roofs, wood-frame structures, and integration into heritage or protected-site contexts. Core clients are municipalities and public-sector entities in Alsace and Grand Est, with additional engagements for healthcare groups (BIOGROUP), financial institutions (Crédit Agricole, CM-CIC), logistics/industrial operators (La Poste Immobilier, Les Charcutiers d'Alsace, Brasserie METEOR), and retail names (Mauboussin in Paris).

The business model is professional-services/project-based, with fees structured by mission type (mission complète, mission de base) and project scope; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm operates a direct, referral-driven GTM focused on its Alsace home market with selective projects delivered in Paris, Corsica, Lyon, and Savoie. Delivery relies on stable engineering partnerships with ILLIOS (MEP/fluids), CALLISTO Ingénierie (structure), and RUBLE, NICLI & Associés (fluids/energy), supplemented by inspection and safety partners (SOCOTEC, APAVE, QUALICONSULT, VERITAS).
