ATELIER ANNE GARDONI

What ATELIER ANNE GARDONI does

Atelier Anne Gardoni is a French landscape architecture and urban planning firm founded in 2005 by Anne Gardoni, a DPLG architect, urbanist, and landscape designer, and headquartered in Lyon with a secondary office in Bordeaux. The firm operates as a SARL (société à responsabilité limitée) with approximately five to six professionals, including project directors, a DPLG landscape architect specializing in public space and mobility, an Architecte DE-HMONP, and an administrative director. Its services are organized around four integrated lines: public facilities (Equipements), housing developments (Logements), parks and gardens (Parcs), and urban projects (Projets Urbains), covering master planning, ecological design, biodiversity integration, urban renaturation, and participatory public consultation.

The firm's underlying expertise combines systemic sustainable design principles with a participatory process methodology and a stated philosophy treating landscape as a complete, autonomous space. It delivers professional services ranging from small public squares (approximately €400K–€1.5M) to large urban redevelopment and public-facility programs (€4M–€27M total project budgets). Notable engagements include the €27M Villefranche-sur-Saône Hospital extension (in partnership with A+ architecture), the €5M Chamrousse ski resort requalification, the €4.5M Ecoquartier des Berges du Gier, and recurrent mandates from municipalities across Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Atelier Anne Gardoni runs a sales-led, project-based B2B and B2G business model, securing work through competitive public tenders and direct developer relationships. The customer base is concentrated among French municipalities, metropolitan governments, and select private developers in two regions, with fees generated on multi-year lump-sum maîtrise d'œuvre contracts. Marketing is conducted through the firm's website portfolio, LinkedIn, Instagram, and industry events; there are no paid acquisition channels, no disclosed external investors, and no parent company.
