ATAUB ARTO architectes

What ATAUB ARTO architectes does

ATAUB ARTO architectes is a Lyon-based architecture and urban planning practice founded in 1997 by Yves MOUTTON, operating as a SARL (SIRET 52228836400014) under the legal name ATAUB+ARTO Architectes. The firm provides master contracting (maîtrise d'œuvre) and project management services across housing (social, private, student, senior, mixed-use), healthcare (EHPAD, hospitals, clinics), education (schools, lycées, universities), and public-sector facilities (municipal buildings, cultural and sports venues). Its core technology is BIM methodology executed on REVIT, used by the majority of collaborators across both offices for collaborative design and construction documentation.

Since August 2015, ATAUB ARTO has operated within a network formed when ATAUB (Atelier d'Architecture et d'Urbanisme, founded 1966 in Rouen) entered its capital, creating a combined organization of 59 collaborators — 9 in Lyon and 50 in Normandy — with combined annual turnover exceeding €6M. The firm rebranded to ATAUB architectes in 2024, consolidating the network under a unified brand and digital presence at ataub.fr. Revenue is generated through professional-services architecture fees, typically calculated as a percentage of construction costs or as fixed project fees, on mandates ranging from €0.2M to €35M in construction value.

The firm serves housing developers (COGEDIM, Alliade Habitat, BATIGERE, 3F Immobilière, Nacarat, Lamotte, Pitch, Semcoda), public authorities (Ville de Lyon, Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, CAF du Rhône), healthcare providers (CH Verneuil, Clinique du Cèdre, CH Elbeuf/Louviers/Val de Reuil), and industrial clients (Plastic Omnium Inergy Automotive Systems), with projects concentrated in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Normandy but extending across multiple French regions and internationally to Congo Brazzaville. Business development relies on participation in architectural competitions, public tenders, and long-term referral relationships rather than digital marketing channels.
