Atelier L Paysage & Urbanisme

What Atelier L Paysage & Urbanisme does

Atelier L Paysage & Urbanisme is a French landscape architecture and urban planning practice founded in 2016 by Florine Lacroix, headquartered in Vinezac, Ardèche, France. The firm specializes in the design and requalification of public spaces in rural and semi-rural French contexts, including village centers, public parks, squares, streets, and heritage sites. Its portfolio spans more than 20 projects across Ardèche, Drôme, Haute-Loire, Pyrénées-Orientales, and Somme, with individual project budgets ranging from under €25,000 for small interventions to €3.7 million for major urban requalifications such as the Pont d'Aubenas quarter and the €3.4 million Val Vert requalification in Le Puy en Velay.

The firm's service offering covers landscape design (espaces publics), parks and gardens (parcs & jardins), urban studies (études urbaines), landscape studies (études paysagères), and participatory design processes (démarches participatives). Its methodology combines frugal design, local material reuse, ecological integration (biodiversity, permeable soils, differentiated management), and participatory co-design with inhabitants. The technical team of six is anchored by the founder (ENSP Versailles 2015, AJAP 2020 laureate) and staffed by graduates of ENSP Versailles, Hepia Geneva, Agro-Campus Angers, and Paris-Est Architecture. The firm has no proprietary technology platform and does not develop software products.

Atelier L operates exclusively in the public sector, generating revenue through project-based contracts won via competitive tendering (marchés publics) and design competitions issued by French municipalities, intercommunal authorities, and state agencies. The firm serves as either mandataire or co-contractor, typically partnered with engineering and architectural firms on larger mandates. It is a bootstrapped, founder-controlled private practice with no disclosed external funding, no subsidiaries, and no technology or data products.
