ANAA ARCHITECTES

What ANAA ARCHITECTES does

ANAA ARCHITECTES is a Lille-based architecture firm operating in the Hauts de France region of France. Founded originally as Atelier Neveux in 1972 by Gilles Neveux, the practice was taken over in 2011 by Thomas Houot and Aurélia Neveux and rebranded as ANAA ARCHITECTES. The firm is staffed by 9 architects and one executive assistant and operates from a former tannery at 14 Rue du Quai, 59800 Lille. It has delivered over 60 projects spanning education, healthcare, social and student housing, sports and cultural venues, public administration, and thermal rehabilitation, with landmark commissions including the Vélodrome de Roubaix (€17.1M) and the Siège de la Région Hauts de France (€84.9M). Customer concentration is skewed toward public-sector clients: regional authorities (Région Hauts de France and its predecessor Région Nord Pas de Calais), municipalities, universities, hospitals, and major social housing operators (VILOGIA, Lille Métropole Habitat, Partenord Habitat) as well as private developers (RAMERY, Cogedim, Nacarat).

The firm's core service is full-scope architectural design and project management — concept, studies, maîtrise d'œuvre, and construction supervision — delivered through three engagement modes: competitive public tenders (concours), design-build competitions (conception-réalisation, including conception-réalisation-maintenance variants), and direct commissions from private clients. The technology stack centers on BIM methodology coupled with certified expertise in French environmental performance frameworks (HQE, BBC, Passivhaus, BEPOS, Effinergie, RE2020) and on complex phased delivery in occupied sites. No proprietary software, AI tooling, or platform architecture is disclosed; revenue is generated by professional service fees typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or as fixed design fees.

The revenue model is project-based, non-recurring professional services income. Distribution is exclusively direct: public tenders with regional/municipal/hospital/university clients, and design-build groupements with contractors and engineering firms (Artelia, Egis, Demathieu Bard, Eiffage, ENGIE, GBL Architectes, JM Wilmotte, Nickl & Partner, Van Acker et Partners, 4A Architectkven). Marketing is conducted primarily through the firm's portfolio website and a modest social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), supplemented by word-of-mouth and concours participation. Geographic scope is regionally limited to Hauts de France, with no evidence of national or international expansion.
