Arc-et-Types

What Arc-et-Types does

Arc-et-Types is a privately held French architecture firm founded in 2005 and headquartered in Villeneuve-Lès-Avignon, Gard, with a team of 6 employees. The firm delivers comprehensive architectural design services across educational, healthcare, residential, industrial, public safety, cultural, and administrative building typologies for public-sector clients (municipalities, hospitals, fire services, schools) and select private enterprises. Its core technology stack centers on sustainable construction methodologies — including BBC (Bâtiment Basse Consommation), BDO (Bâtiment Durable Occitanie), BÂTIMENT NOWATT eco-design, HQE, and RT2012 -20% standards — combined with BIM Level 1 modeling for design coordination. The firm has demonstrable expertise in low-carbon, eco-designed buildings and energy renovation, evidenced by an 80% energy consumption reduction on the Habitat du Gard headquarters project.

The business model is project-based professional services: the firm earns design fees through architectural competitions for public procurement (concours/marchés publics) and direct commissions from private clients. Mission types range from BASE (basic architecture) to extended scopes including OPC (project management assistance), DIAG, EXE, and design-build (conception/réalisation) contracts. Project budgets span approximately €335K to €7.18M ht, with notable anchors including a €13.7M multi-phase industrial project for Poppies Bakeries (2000-2023) and a €7.18M senior residence for Ville de Nîmes. Distribution is regional across Occitanie, PACA, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, with project acquisition through public procurement competition and private referrals rather than paid marketing channels. The firm holds no external funding and operates without disclosed investors or parent entities.
