Oglo

What Oglo does

Oglo is a Paris-based French architecture firm (Société d'architecture) founded in 2011 by partners Emmanuel de France and Arnaud Dambrine, operating with approximately 11 employees from its headquarters at 80 rue du Moulin Vert. The firm specializes exclusively in healthcare facility design, covering medical centers (cabinets médicaux), multidisciplinary health houses (maisons de santé pluridisciplinaires), health poles (pôles santé), specialized clinics (ophthalmology, dermatology, cardiology, dental, medical imaging), and hospital renovation in occupied sites. Technical deliverables combine architectural design with regulatory-specialized expertise including ISO 7 cleanroom standards for surgical blocks, Faraday cage implementation for MRI rooms, ASN-compliant radiation shielding for CT scanners, acoustic isolation for medical consultations, and accessibility compliance for medical establishments.

The firm generates revenue through professional architectural design fees, typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or as fixed honoraires, with multi-year contracts common for public-sector projects acquired through architectural competitions (concours) and tenders. Oglo serves three primary customer segments: municipalities and local governments addressing medical desertification through public health infrastructure (Mairie de Paris, Département des Yvelines, Ville de Cergy), private healthcare providers establishing clinics (SEIMA Ophta, DERMAE, Pôle Ophtalmo Melun, Cardiopôle Yvart), and institutional clients such as APHP and social housing operators integrating health facilities into residential developments. Distribution is direct-to-client, with marketing supported by a portfolio website, an indexed Journal of technical articles, and an Instagram presence (@ogloarchitectes).

Geographic reach is concentrated within a 200km radius of Paris across Île-de-France, Centre-Val de Loire, and Normandy, with selective projects extending to Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (IMOP Marseille, Bois-Plage-en-Ré) and other regions. The firm operates as an independent two-partner practice with no external institutional investment, no parent company, and no acquisitions. Workflow relies on a recurring ecosystem of specialist engineering partners including Make Ingénierie (structural), BETOM (TCE), Cap Terre (environmental), Gamba Acoustique (acoustic), and Ecallard Économiste (quantity surveying), alongside architect collaborations with Nicolas Dorval-Bory Architectes, Estudio Ramos (Buenos Aires), and FMAU. Notable recognitions include Lauréat FAIRE 2020, Prix Européen 40 under 40 (2019), and Prix du ravalement de la ville de Versailles (2017).
