DVK Architectes

What DVK Architectes does

DVK Architectes is a Geneva-based architectural practice founded in 1995, operating as DVK ARCHITECTES SIA-AGA from Le Corbusier's "La Clarté" building, a UNESCO World Heritage site at Rue Saint Laurent 2. The firm offers full-lifecycle architectural services spanning conception through construction completion, including interior architecture, heritage restoration, and a specialized parking construction vertical (DVK Parking). A team of approximately fifteen collaborators of diverse nationalities (Swiss, French, Italian, Czech, Lithuanian, Iranian) delivers projects across residential, commercial/institutional, hospitality, and heritage categories. Technical delivery relies on industry-standard AUTOCAD and REVIT tools with in-house BIM management (Raphaël Secret, Architecte DESA - BIM Manager).

The firm serves a mixed client base of private homeowners, real estate developers, and enterprise/institutional clients including law firms (Lenz & Staehelin, Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law Ltd), banking (Banque CIC Suisse), energy/trading (Vitol SA), hospitality (Hôtel Rousseau), and healthcare (Chêne Bougeries Clinic). Notable credentials include work on heritage/restoration projects, Minergie-labeled residential developments (Les Fleurs d'Ehden, 13-lot residence in Renens), and competition selections (Palafitte Lighthouse Leman Lake, Corseaux). Geographic operations span the Geneva region with a secondary affiliated office (DJAA ARCHITECTES) in Grignan, France, serving the Drôme Provençale market.

The business model is project-based professional services with fees determined by scope, complexity, and requirements (no standardized pricing). Revenue is generated entirely through direct client engagement, architectural competitions, and referrals, with no public pricing or disclosed financials. GTM motion is enterprise field sales targeting private homeowners, developers, and institutional clients in the Geneva and Drôme Provençale regions. The firm maintains a portfolio website and an Instagram channel (@dvkarchitectesofficiel) for top-of-funnel visibility, supported by a network of execution contractors (Pilot SA, Beric SA), project managers (FM Management, Capvest Advisors SA), and architect collaborators (DJAA, Torelli & Fossati, Architectures Jucker SA).
