What minuit architectes does

minuit architectes is a Paris-based architecture practice founded in 2020 by four associés — Aliénor Bolelli, Félix Borel, Maxime Eon and Joseph Vincent — operating from 5b rue Martel, 75010 Paris. The firm offers a single, integrated service line of architectural design and project management, spanning new construction, rehabilitation, and energy renovation across scales ranging from individual apartment renovations (50-150 m², €65k-€180k work costs) to large multi-unit housing (up to 200 units, ~€12M construction cost) and mixed-use equipment projects.

The practice's distinctive technical approach lies in its constructive vocabulary, which combines wood structures (including disassemblable timber frames for agricultural buildings), load-bearing stone, reinforced concrete and steel, alongside prefabricated modular systems assembled off-site and a consistent emphasis on bioclimatic design — passive solar capture, cross-ventilation, and thermal inertia — to minimise operational energy demand. Projects target 100% natural light/ventilation outcomes and 80% cross-ventilation in housing units where feasible.

The firm operates a sales-led model, acquiring work through French architectural competitions (concours) for public-sector clients and direct commissions from private developers and individuals. The customer base is split between public sector (CROUS Bretagne, Sorbonne Université, ENSA-Versailles, RIVP, Paris Habitat, France Logis) and private developers (Icade, Ogic, Kaufman & Broad, Emerige, Interconstruction/Novaxia, Fair' Promotion), with the bulk of construction-cost value sitting in residential, student housing and educational programs. Geographic reach has expanded from an initial Île-de-France base to Bretagne, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Centre-Val de Loire and Guadeloupe. Revenue is generated through standard professional-service fees; specific fee rates are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Chartier Dalix: Paris-based architecture practice of comparable scale focused on public-sector commissions (housing, schools, cultural facilities) and sustainability-led design. Direct competitor for the same CROUS, public housing, and institutional client base that Minuit serves.
• NP2F Architectes: Small-to-mid Paris architecture firm working on residential and social-housing projects with strong material research orientation. Closely comparable in size, program focus, and sustainability-driven design language.
• AAVP Architecture: Paris-based studio working on residential, social housing and public-equipment projects. Comparable size and competes for similar public-tender commissions across Île-de-France.
• KOZ Architectes: Paris-based firm of similar scale specializing in social and affordable housing, with comparable emphasis on contextual urban insertion and sustainable construction systems. Competes for the same public-housing developer clients.
• Bony Architectes: Paris-based practice working on social and intermediate housing with bioclimate and wood construction expertise. Comparable firm in size, geography, and program focus.
• Atelier Pascal Gontier: Independent Parisian architecture practice working on social housing, education, and bioclimatic/wood construction projects. Closely aligned with Minuit's residential-public-housing mix and environmental design ethos.

Emerging players

• Wagon Landscaping: Paris-based architecture/landscape firm with adjacent focus on social housing and bioclimatic, plant-based construction approaches. Comparable emerging-player profile but with stronger landscape-architecture overlap than Minuit's core practice.

Broad incumbents
