Dialog Architectes

What Dialog Architectes does

Dialog Architectes (legal entity: Agence Dialog) is a privately held French architecture and interior design firm headquartered in Bouguenais, Loire Atlantique, founded in 2012 by HMONP architect Aurélien Crozet. The firm operates with a core team of approximately 5 employees supplemented by a network of partner engineers, construction economists, landscapers, and interior fitters, delivering projects across western France (Nantes, La Baule, Pornic, Noirmoutier, Les Sables d'Olonne, Saint-Brevin-les-Pins) and São Paulo, Brazil. Its service catalog spans complete architectural missions (new construction, rehabilitation, renovation, extension, surélévation), interior architecture (residential, tertiary, retail/hospitality, healthcare), urban planning and building permits, and Mon Accompagnateur Rénénov-certified energy-rehabilitation advisory.

The firm's core methodological differentiator is neuro-architecture — the application of behavioral neuroscience to spatial design, integrating biophilic design principles, environmental psychology, color and lighting prescriptions, Feng Shui, and geobiology into project work. This offering was introduced when co-lead Georgia Crozet (MBA in behavioral neuroscience, 2023) joined in 2019, and has been positioned as the first such specialization in France. Environmental sustainability is a second technology axis: Aurélien Crozet holds HQE (2023), RE2020 (2022), and OSCAR (2021) certifications, and the firm specifies biosourced materials, low-carbon construction, and compliance with HQE and RE2020 standards, with reference projects including zero-concrete hotel construction using recycled-cardboard walls (Hôtel Le Domaine de Pan, 2022) and biosourced médiathèque construction (Mairie de Mer).

Commercially, Dialog generates revenue through professional-services fees. Architectural mission fees are calculated as a percentage of projected HT construction cost (typical of French practice) and contractualized in advance, with multi-year engagement horizons; partial missions begin with diagnostic/Esquisse phases and may roll into full missions. Neuro-architecture consulting and conferences are sold on unit pricing (€150 for a 1h30 session, €450 for a 4h half-day), and Mon Accompagnateur Rénénov advisory is engaged for energy-rehabilitation guidance linked to MaPrimeRénénov aid. Customers are a horizontal mix across residential particuliers, SMBs (e.g., ETIENNE Coffee & Shop warehouse, GB Optique retail optics), enterprise hospitality (Astonomia, Hôtel Le Domaine de Pan), and public-sector municipalities (Mairie de Mer médiathèque, €2.18M TTC). Distribution is direct through site consultations and design engagement, supported by a digital presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Houzz) and thought-leadership activity (Salon Habitat conferences, École de Design de Nantes jury membership, France Bleu media appearances, ANFA international membership).
