UGO ARCHITECTURE

What UGO ARCHITECTURE does

UGO Architecture is a family-owned architecture practice (cabinet d'architecture) founded in 2017 and headquartered in Ramatuelle, on the French Riviera. The firm delivers a full lifecycle of architectural services spanning architectural creation (sketches, project development, building permits, 2D and 3D visuals), space design and interior decoration, and project management including construction site supervision (maîtrise d'œuvre). Its portfolio is concentrated in the high-end residential and lifestyle segments of the Côte d'Azur, encompassing named villas (Villa M2, Villa S1, Villa P1, Villa H1, Villa H2, Villa L1, Villa M1, Villa V), hospitality and wellness projects (Hotel Ramatuelle, Byblos SPA, Plage Kon-Tiki), retail boutiques, and selected public-sector works (a cooperative winery, a wastewater treatment plant, a subdivision development).

The firm is operated by a 5-person team composed almost entirely of the UGO family: Anthony UGO (Architecte DE), Marine UGO (Interior Architect), Maurice UGO (Project Manager / Maître d'œuvre), Monique UGO (Administrative Manager), and an administrative assistant. Business is generated through direct client engagement on a project-by-project basis, with services priced via custom quotes rather than published rates. The firm also exports its expertise internationally, and its brand visibility in the regional luxury market is supported by press features in Art Travel Magazine (2017) and PURE Saint-Tropez (2010). UGO Architecture is a bootstrapped, privately held entity with no external investment, no parent company, and no disclosed subsidiaries.
