ATELIER RS

What ATELIER RS does

Atelier RS is a Nice-based architecture and interior design practice operating with a team of approximately five employees, founded by architect Romain Bazière, a graduate of the École d'Architecture de Paris-Malaquais who holds the HMONP qualification required to sign architectural deliverables in France. The firm serves private individuals (particuliers) and a small set of commercial and boutique clients, primarily on the French Riviera — including Nice, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Raphaël — with additional projects executed in Paris and Corsica. Service coverage spans the full project lifecycle: architectural conception, interior design, building permit administration, construction site monitoring, and 3D visualization.

The practice's core technical differentiation is bioclimatic architecture, with particular depth in timber-frame (ossature bois) construction. Project typologies include single-family residences, apartments, commercial premises, and retail spaces. Delivery is supported by a stable partner ecosystem: EC-BOIS handles wood construction, and recurring external consultants cover structural engineering, thermal performance, and geotechnical studies. The firm has received editorial coverage in Éco Maison Bois and Art & Décoration, indicating some brand visibility within the French sustainable-architecture niche.

Atelier RS operates a professional services business model, with revenue generated from project-based fees derived from construction cost or fixed mandates negotiated per project. The firm is privately held, has not raised external capital, and is financed through operating cash flow. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount trajectory, or financial statement.
