ARCHITECTE(S)

What ARCHITECTE(S) does

ARCHITECTE(S) is a French architecture firm (SARL) founded in 2010 by Romain VIAULT and headquartered in Charenton-le-Pont, Île-de-France. The firm specializes in the design of public equipment — schools, hospitals, cultural centers, sports facilities and environmental infrastructure — with a stated focus on sustainable and environmentally conscious design. It delivers projects for French municipalities, public hospitals and inter-communal structures, as well as for private real estate developers and a handful of corporate clients including Citroën and the World Trade Organization. The firm's portfolio includes the renovation of the Piscine Georges-Vallerey for the Paris 2024 Olympics (commissioned by Ville de Paris and Paris 2024/SOLIDEO), multiple healthcare programs in the Yonne department, and school and cultural-space projects across Île-de-France and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.

The firm's core offering is professional architecture services: schematic design, project management and construction oversight, delivered through a small core team of two partners (Romain VIAULT and David COLINET, the latter joining as co-manager in 2013) and four collaborators, supplemented by a long-standing network of BET (bureaux d'études techniques) partners including SETEC, VERDI, PHOSPHORIS, UPCYCLEA and ACOUSTIBEL, plus landscape and scenography specialists. Fees are project-based, calculated as a percentage of construction cost or as fixed project fees, on multi-year contracts aligned to public procurement frameworks. The firm is privately held, with no external investors, no disclosed revenue, and no subsidiaries. Growth is driven primarily by winning architectural competitions and public tenders — a channel documented through repeated inclusions in Le Moniteur competition results and multiple national awards (Grand Prix d'Architecture de l'Académie des Beaux-arts, Prix Taylor, Prix National d'Architecture Éphémère 2017, Grand Prix d'Aménagement en Territoire Constructible Inondable 2017). The firm has begun publicly referencing artificial intelligence in its 'Laboratoire' work but has no disclosed AI/ML products or proprietary technology platform.
