MARCO ROSSI PAYSAGISTE

What MARCO ROSSI PAYSAGISTE does

Marco Rossi Paysagiste (legally Agence Marco Rossi Paysagiste, branded as Atelier MRP) is a privately-held landscape architecture and urban planning design studio founded in 2012 by Marco Rossi in Lyon, France. The firm operates at the intersection of landscape architecture, urbanism, and urban design, offering interdisciplinary professional services spanning studies, conception, and maîtrise d'œuvre (construction supervision) for landscape and public-space projects. Its stated methodology combines French landscape tradition with contemporary approaches addressing environmental, social, and economic challenges, with a distinctive emphasis on voids, interstices, and living systems as primary structures of landscape. The firm is led by Marco Rossi (Gérant et directeur), with the core team drawn from leading French institutions including ENSPV, IUAV, ENSAV, ENSAL, ENSAG, ENSASE, ENSAPB, and IUL, and supported by an extended network of 25+ freelance architects, urbanists, and landscape architects.

The firm's customer base is split between public sector clients (municipalities, public procurement tenders for urbanism and landscape projects) and private sector developers (residential, commercial, and educational developments). It also serves educational institutions for campus and outdoor learning space projects. Revenue is generated exclusively through professional services engagements: consulting fees, design contracts, and project management fees, structured on a quote-based model tailored to project scope and complexity. The go-to-market is sales-led B2B/B2G, with projects acquired through direct client engagement, response to public tenders (Marchés Publics), and professional network referrals.

The studio maintains its headquarters at 17 cours de la liberté, 69003 Lyon, France, and operates a secondary office at San Polo 2351, 30125 Venezia, Italy, reflecting founder Marco Rossi's Venetian upbringing and dual French-Italian professional identity. Marketing and distribution rely on the corporate website (marcorossi.fr) plus organic social media presence on Instagram and LinkedIn, with no disclosed paid acquisition channels. The firm has no external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed AI/ML technology stack — its core "technology" is its design methodology and the professional credentials of its team.
