It pursues regulatory-grade sustainability compliance including RE 2020, NF Habitat HQE, RT 2012, and E3C1, and launched an RSE Charter in 2024 committing it to becoming a regenerative enterprise by 2030. Its 2023 first off-site construction project (42 stacked dwellings) signals adoption of modular construction methods.

2AD Architecture generates revenue through professional services on a project-based, quote-by-project basis with multi-year contracts. Distribution is primarily direct: architectural competitions (public and private), public tenders, and direct commissions from social housing operators, public entities, and private developers. Geographically, the firm is anchored in the Greater Paris region (Paris, Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne, Seine-Saint-Denis) with selective national projects in Strasbourg, Lyon, and Mayotte. Marketing relies on its project portfolio visibility, professional network memberships, and competition wins.
