What Panorama Architecture does

Panorama Architecture is a French architecture firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Aix-en-Provence, operating through the legal entity PANORAMA ARCHITECTURE SAS with a secondary office in Paris. The firm employs approximately twelve people, led by two co-founder associated architects, Olivier Brouwez (Pr\u00e9sident) and Ignacio Tillard (Directeur G\u00e9n\u00e9ral), and is organized as an SAS (Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 par Actions Simplifi\u00e9e) with \u20ac600,000 in share capital. The firm specializes in public-sector architecture, acquiring projects primarily through public procurement competitions (concours) awarded by regional councils, municipal governments, universities, and ministries. Its project portfolio spans six principal typologies: educational facilities (schools, colleges, lyc\u00e9es, university campuses), sports infrastructure (stadiums, gymnasiums, arenas, CREPS), cultural and community buildings (libraries, theaters, research centers), healthcare facilities (military hospitals, EHPAD), tertiary/office buildings, and residential/social housing, with selective forays into private-sector heritage rehabilitation (Domaine Beaucastel, Miraval Studios).

The firm's core technical capabilities emphasize sustainable Mediterranean construction, with demonstrated expertise across Bâtiments Durables Méditerranées (BDM) Bronze, Argent, and Or certification levels, HQE (Haute Qualité Environnementale), BBC, E3C1/E2C1 energy labels, BNR digital reference library labeling, and compliance with RT 2005 and RT 2012 thermal regulations. It employs BIM methodology (at least BIM Level 1) and uses biosourced materials on selected projects. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on project commissions, with pricing determined through public tenders rather than a published fee schedule. Project values in the portfolio range from approximately \u20ac1.9M to \u20ac55M, with several multi-year commissions running 2025-2027 (Lyc\u00e9e Denis Diderot, Immeubles de bureaux Emeraude, CREPS Saint-Denis de la R\u00e9union, Complexe sportif Arcs sur Argens). The firm holds repeat client relationships across multiple French regions — PACA, Île-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Occitanie, and La R\u00e9union — and has partnered with internationally recognized firms including John Pawson Ltd (Domaine Beaucastel) and Dietrich Untertrifaller (Lyc\u00e9e Evariste Galois) on flagship commissions.
