LAND'ACT Paysages & Territoires

What LAND'ACT Paysages & Territoires does

Land'Act Paysages & Territoires is a French landscape architecture and urban planning firm headquartered in Clichy (Ile-de-France), formed in 2015 through the merger of TUP (founded 1986 by Philippe Thébaud) and TRAITVERT (founded 1992 by Eric Manfrino). The firm provides concept design, master planning, and full project delivery for public-sector clients (municipalities such as Paris, Courbevoie, Rueil-Malmaison, Strasbourg, Orléans, Lisieux) and private-sector clients (real estate developers including VINCI Immobilier, Bouygues Immobilier, NEXITY, LBO France, SEFRI-CIME, and hospitality operators such as Katara Hospitality and the Le Méridien group). Land'Act operates from four regional offices in France (Clichy, Bordeaux, Nice, Nantes) and selectively executes international projects, primarily in New Caledonia, the Middle East, China, and Africa.

The firm's core technology is LIM® (Landscape Information Modeling), a proprietary methodology invented by Land'Act in 2016 that represents the first BIM-domain application specifically built for landscape architecture. LIM enables parametric 3D modeling of outdoor spaces with technical metadata for trees (root systems, water requirements, growth calendars, evolution over time) from conception through execution and maintenance. The firm also operates Land'Lab, an internal R&D laboratory focused on biophilia, plant engineering, biodiversity, water management, nocturnal landscape, and Nature-based Solutions (SafN). In November 2025, Land'Act became the first landscape architecture agency in France to adopt the 'Société à Mission' (mission-driven company) legal status, legally binding the firm to its regenerative-landscape purpose.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, determined by project scope, surface area, and complexity, with commissions secured via public tenders, design competitions (concours), and direct enterprise engagement. In 2022, the firm acquired Agence Laverne Paysagistes, lifting headcount to roughly 55 people and expanding senior expertise. Land'Act is a privately held, founder-managed firm (Eric Manfrino serves as President) with no disclosed external institutional investment, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue figure.
