ATELIER IRIS CHERVET

What ATELIER IRIS CHERVET does

Atelier Iris Chervet is a Paris-based architecture, urban planning, and landscape design studio founded in 2018 by Iris Chervet as a single-member SASU (capital €20,000). The studio operates a transdisciplinary practice that integrates architecture, urbanism, landscape architecture, and geography, organized around three methodological pillars: multi-scalar spatial design (territorial to detail scale), 'thickness' (lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere), and dynamics (time, movement, governance). Its proprietary 'hydro-productif parks' approach — combining flood expansion zones, hydraulic transparency, and productive green infrastructure — has been validated through three EUROPAN competition wins (Saint-Brieuc 2015, Saint-Omer 2019, Grenoble 2023) and forms the intellectual core of its climate-adaptation positioning.

The studio serves almost exclusively public-sector clients — municipalities, intercommunal authorities, metropolitan governments, and public agencies such as SHEMA, PUCA, and CAUE — across France, with additional commissions in Belgium, Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Spain, and Switzerland. Documented projects span €1.1M to €15M HT in construction value and territorial scales from 1.1 Ha to 1,650 Ha, including public parks, coastal installations, heritage museum conversions, station-district master plans, and climate resilience strategies. Customer acquisition is driven entirely by architecture and urban design competitions, direct municipal invitations, academic visibility (ENSA Paris-Val de Seine teaching), and editorial coverage in outlets such as IDEAT, Libération, AMC, and Urbanisme.

Revenue is generated through one-time professional services fees on commissioned contracts, with no recurring or subscription revenue. The studio operates from a Paris headquarters (6 rue de Vaucouleurs, 75011) and a secondary Bretagne studio in Saint-Brieuc, with a documented team of approximately 9 active members plus a wider bench of collaborators and recurring partners — most notably URBAN WATER for hydrology, with engineering, lighting, acoustics, and mobility sub-consultants forming project-specific consortia. There are no external investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds recorded; Iris Chervet is the sole shareholder and Director of Publication.
