TLR Architecture & Associés

What TLR Architecture & Associés does

TLR Architecture & Associés is a France-based architectural firm founded on July 16, 1991, in Bordeaux, and registered under SIREN 382 259 729. The practice is part of TLR Groupe, which also comprises AEC ingénierie (structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering) and l'Atelier Couleur (interior design and color consulting), enabling integrated multidisciplinary delivery. The firm specializes in healthcare architecture — hospitals, clinics, EHPAD (Établissements d'Hébergement pour Personnes Âgées Dépendantes), and biomedical/laboratory facilities — alongside educational institutions, residential and social housing, industrial/logistics buildings, and heritage restoration. Notable reference projects include APHP Plateau Technique Interventionnel, CHU de Poitiers Pôle Régional de Cancérologie, Hôpital Tarbes-Lourdes (64,120 m², delivery 2029), CHU Bordeaux Institut de Biologie et Pathologie, and the international mandate at Hôpital de la Tour in Geneva.

TLR generates revenue through professional services fees on project-based contracts, typically multi-year engagements, sourced via French public procurement (marchés publics) and direct relationships with hospital networks, foundations, and private healthcare operators. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales through competitive bidding with event-driven visibility at SANTEXPO, the Journées de l'Architecture en Santé, and MAF workshops. The firm operates from a Bordeaux headquarters (13 rue Roger Mirassou), a Paris regional office (Tour Perspective 2, 22nd floor, opened April 2023), and a Granville office (TLR Architecture Nord Ouest, established 2020), serving clients primarily in France with selective international expansion into Switzerland.

Underlying technology centers on BIM-based design and digital visualization tools; the firm holds no patents or disclosed proprietary technology, and AI/ML capabilities are not referenced in available materials. Customers are predominantly public-sector and institutional — Assistance Publique – Hôpitaux de Paris, multiple CHU/CH/CHRU networks, municipalities, and non-profit foundations — with pricing undisclosed and structured per project rather than via tiered or subscription models.
