What Ateliers d'Architecture SA / AA does

Ateliers d'Architecture SA (AA) is a privately held Swiss architecture and real estate firm founded around 2010 and headquartered in Yverdon-les-Bains, Canton Vaud, with a secondary office in Sainte-Croix. The company operates through three integrated divisions: AA – Architecture (architectural design, feasibility studies, new construction, transformation, and renovation), AA – Construction (general contracting via two wholly-owned subsidiaries, VOA Sàrl and H&P Sàrl), and AA – Immobilier (property management, PPE condominium administration, valuation, and brokerage). The firm employs approximately 13 staff including architects, technicians, draftspersons, and apprentices, and is led by three partners: Armando Pereira, Olivier Troyon, and Christelle Garin.

The business generates revenue across four streams: professional services fees for architecture and design, general construction contracting fees, recurring property management and brokerage commissions, and transactional revenue from the development and sale of PPE condominium units. Active and pipeline projects include Promenade des Pins (delivery 2026), Les Jordils 25 (delivery June 2025), an Echallens development with three buildings (permit 2024, delivery 2026), and the Moulins 54 rental building (available September 2024), with unit pricing ranging from CHF 490,000 to CHF 1,275,000 and rentals from CHF 1,850/month.

AA's go-to-market is direct and local: project marketing is conducted through its integrated websites, project showcase pages, and Facebook/Instagram channels, with sales generated through two physical offices. The company specializes in Minergie energy-efficient construction and maintains a co-development partnership with Richard Promotions SA on the Orbe La Magnenette project. No external funding, public listing, or AI/digital technology capabilities are present in the operating model.

• Allreal Holding AG: Swiss-listed real estate group combining development, general contracting, and property management across Switzerland. Comparable to AA's full lifecycle architecture-construction-management model at a much larger and publicly listed scale.
• HRS Real Estate AG: One of Switzerland's largest real estate developers, active in residential, commercial, and public-sector projects. Comparable to AA as a Swiss integrated developer, though operating at materially larger scale and geographic reach.
