Tria Architectes

What Tria Architectes does

Tria Architectes is a French architectural firm founded in 1989 and headquartered at 70 avenue du Drapeau in Dijon, operating in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region with a multidisciplinary team of approximately 14 staff. The firm delivers architectural design, project management, and construction supervision services to public-sector and selected private clients across building typologies including primary and secondary schools (collèges, lycées), collective and social housing, government administrative buildings, gendarmerie barracks, child welfare facilities, and sociocultural centers. Named clients include the Ville de Saint-Apollinaire, Département de Saône-et-Loire, Ministère de la Justice, Conseil Régional Bourgogne Franche-Comté, Département de l'Yonne, and Conseil Départemental de la Côte d'Or, alongside private developers such as Voisin Immobilier and COOP Habitat Bourgogne.

The firm's technical positioning centers on sustainable and resilient architecture. Projects are routinely delivered against French environmental standards including BBC (Bâtiment Basse Consommation), BBC Effinergie, RT2012, RE2020, HQE, BEPOS, and Décret tertiaire, with the firm targeting 40–60% energy consumption reductions on rehabilitation works. Core technical approaches include wood frame and CLT (cross-laminated timber) structures, bio-sourced insulation (wood wool, recycled cotton, hemp concrete), double-flow ventilation, photovoltaic and geothermal systems, and rainwater/grey water recovery. The firm sources local Jurassian wood, including Épicéa scolyté (bark beetle-affected timber), supporting regional forestry and circular material flows. Project execution follows BIM methodology across phases from concours entry through Esquisse, APD, and PC stages.

Tria Architectes generates revenue through professional architectural service fees paid via project-based engagements, with disclosed public-tender construction budgets ranging from approximately €1.81 million (12-unit housing) to €23.75 million (248-unit mixed-use complex), and school project works typically between €2 million and €8.6 million. Go-to-market is sales-led and entirely direct: the firm competes in public architecture competitions (concours) issued by municipalities, departments, regions, and ministries, supplemented by direct engagement with social housing cooperatives and private developers. There are no intermediaries or resellers. Marketing is conducted through a portfolio website, a LinkedIn company page, and an Instagram showcase, with a protected Espace Pro portal providing secure access to tender documents for professional clients.

Broad incumbents

• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): Copenhagen-headquartered international firm with significant work in sustainable public buildings (schools, civic projects). Larger-scope reference peer for the same design language Tria operates in.
• MVRDV: Rotterdam-based international practice with a portfolio of public buildings and sustainability-led projects. Serves as a broader incumbent reference for comparable sustainable architecture practice.
• Snøhetta: Norwegian-headquartered international architecture firm whose wood-construction, public-building, and sustainability portfolio mirrors Tria's positioning at a global scale — useful as a broader reference for sustainable public architecture.
• Studio Gang: US-based international practice recognized for ecology-driven public architecture, including civic and educational projects. A useful aspirational reference for Tria's sustainable-public-mission profile.
• Henning Larsen: Danish international architecture firm (now part of Ramboll) with a strong record in sustainable public-sector projects including schools and civic buildings. Comparable in sustainability focus and public-client orientation.

Direct peers

• Encore Heureux: Paris-based architecture collective with a strong emphasis on reuse, bio-sourced materials, and public-sector commissions. Closely aligned with Tria's philosophy of resource-circular, low-carbon design.
• Tectoniques: Lyon-based architecture studio known for environmentally driven public-sector and educational projects across France — directly comparable in size, geography, and sustainable-architecture positioning to Tria Architectes.
