LA COMPAGNIE DU PAYSAGE

What LA COMPAGNIE DU PAYSAGE does

La Compagnie du Paysage is a Paris-headquartered landscape architecture and urbanism agency founded in 2004 as a SARL (société à responsabilité limitée) with €10,000 initial capital by four partners with complementary professional backgrounds. The firm delivers integrated design services — public space development (aménagement d'espaces publics), urban planning and renewal (urbanisme et renouvellement urbain), park and green space conception, residentialization of housing estates (résidentialisation), and specialized vegetal architecture (green facades, living walls) — for French public-sector clients and selected private developers. Its documented portfolio spans over 30 projects across metropolitan France (Île-de-France, Normandy, Loiret, Rhône, Alpes-Maritimes, Val d'Oise, Seine-Maritime), French overseas territory La Réunion, and Belgium, with construction budgets on individual mandates ranging from under €1M to €80M (Maison de la Radio).

The agency's core technical differentiators lie in biophilic urban design, ecological stormwater management, agricultural urbanism (urbanisme agricole), large-scale vegetated landforms (collines végétales), chromatic garden design, and river renaturation — capabilities delivered by an in-house multidisciplinary team of landscape architects, architects-designers, urbanists, landscape engineers, and VRD engineers. Notable landmark mandates include the biophilic ZAC des Groues secteur Hanriot for Paris La Défense (22 ha, €21M HT), the Maison de la Radio exterior landscape for Radio France (2.3 ha within a €241.5M rehabilitation), the Honfleur Normandy Outlet commercial landscape (8 ha, €28M HT), and the Interives urban development for Orléans Val de Loire (37.5 ha phase 1, €13.5M exterior budget).

The business model is professional services revenue earned through French public procurement — primarily the concours de maîtrise d'œuvre competitive design process — with fees negotiated per-project against defined mission scopes (concours, maîtrise d'œuvre complète, pré-opérationnel studies). The firm operates with a lean 9-employee team, is privately held with no external investment, and pursues projects entirely through direct engagement with municipalities, EPCIs, social housing organizations (ESH/OPH), public development companies (SEM/SPL), and selected private real estate developers.

Broad incumbents

• Artelia: French engineering and project management group offering landscape, urban, and environmental services. Competes in broader tenders and consortia for major public infrastructure projects in the same French market.
