Palissad Architectures

What Palissad Architectures does

Palissad Architectures is a privately held, Paris-based architecture firm founded in 1999 that delivers architecture, interior architecture, and landscaping-adjacent design services across four formal core lines: Architecture Intérieure (interior architecture), Logements (residential), Résidences & Hotels (hospitality, student residences, senior living), and Tertiaire (commercial office). The practice concentrates on the Île-de-France region with additional project delivery across seven French regions, working on both new construction and rehabilitation/restructuring mandates, with strong emphasis on heritage-building conversion and environmental certifications including HQE, BBC Effinergie, BREEAM, Passivhaus, WELL, and WiredScore.

The firm operates a traditional professional-services model: revenue is generated through project-based fees tied to construction scope and complexity, with multi-year contracts spanning conception through on-site execution. Project construction-cost values in its portfolio range from €2.5M to €27M HT. GTM motion is enterprise field sales executed through architectural competitions and direct engagement with property developers, institutional investors, and public entities. Customer base is concentrated among French institutional and corporate names (Covivio, Foncière des Régions, Crédit Agricole Immobilier, SCOR, Korian, Parfums Christian Dior, France Travail) across office, residential, healthcare, hospitality, and government end-markets.

Palissad employs approximately 20 collaborators organized into studies, construction-site, and interior-architecture departments, led by co-managing partners Hervé Cornou and Marie Monrozier (with Lucie Junqua Salanne joining as partner in 2022). Delivery is supported by a recurring ecosystem of specialist engineering, economics, façade, landscape, acoustic, fire-safety, and HQE certification partners. The firm has no disclosed external investors, no M&A activity, no funding rounds, and no external parent; it remains founder/partnership-owned. Recognition includes the Grand Prix SIMI 2021 for innovative renovation.
