Atelier LD

What Atelier LD does

Atelier LD is a French multidisciplinary consultancy founded in 2006, operating as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiées) under code NAF 7112B (Engineering and Technical Studies). The firm delivers integrated landscape architecture, urban planning, hydraulic engineering, and VRD (Roads and Utility Networks) infrastructure services under a single practice, with a stated focus on nature-based solutions and respect for the water cycle. Its four service areas — Urbanisme, Hydraulique, Paysage, and Ingénierie et VRD — are positioned to be deployed jointly so that stormwater management, green-blue infrastructure networks, and urban river restoration are designed into projects from early phases.

Atelier LD generates revenue through project-based professional service fees, won through French public-sector tenders and direct consulting engagements with municipalities, ZAC (Zone d'Aménagement Concerté) development authorities, cultural institutions, and a smaller base of private developers. It does not publish pricing or contract values. The firm employs roughly 20 professionals across its headquarters in Bois-Guillaume (Normandy) and regional offices in Lyon (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) and Sainte-Marie, La Réunion (operating as LD Austral). Beyond metropolitan France, it has delivered international projects in Benin (Sèmè City) and Mauritius (Constance, Azuri, Ferney Valley smart-city initiatives).

The firm markets itself through a project-portfolio website (atelierld.com), industry events, and ongoing news announcements of project phases and inaugurations. It is GDPR-compliant, founder-led, with Julio DA SILVA identified as responsible for publication. There is no evidence of external investment, M&A activity, or public listing; ownership appears independent and founder-operated. The firm has completed 600+ projects since inception and received the Victoire d'Argent du Paysage in 2008 for the Parc Mail project in Ecully.
