What Bureau 112 does

Bureau 112 is a French architecture firm founded in 2007 and headquartered in Rouen, Normandy. Structured as a SASU (Société par actions simplifiée unipersonnelle) under founder-president Josselin Sauzeau, the firm operates with 12 multidisciplinary collaborators — architects, project managers, and works directors — and delivers full architectural services from concept through construction supervision. Its practice spans seven verticals: healthcare/medical-social (EHPADs, clinics, facilities for disabled adults), industrial (factories, logistics platforms, nuclear facilities), residential (social housing, senior residences), offices, public equipment (schools, fire stations, parking), heritage rehabilitation, and senior living.

The firm's core technology stack centers on BIM (Building Information Modeling) for coordinated 3D design and project management, paired with deep expertise in low-energy construction. It holds Certified European Passive House Designer (CEPH) credentials from the Passive House Institute since 2015 and delivered its first passive building in 2012. Project certifications referenced include RT2012 -20%, HQE Tertiaire, BBC, PassivHauss, and Biosourcé niveau 2. Notable enterprise and public-sector clients span Orano (nuclear), LCL/Crédit Agricole (banking), Naval Group (defense), Goodyear (automotive), SDIS 76 (government fire and rescue), ESIGELEC (education), and multiple social-housing operators, with project construction values ranging from approximately €2.85M to €25.3M.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees typically calculated as a percentage of construction cost or fixed mission fees, with public tenders following French regulatory fee structures. Projects are secured via competitive architectural competitions (concours), direct client relationships, and public procurement processes. Multi-year contracts are standard, with the firm operating primarily in Normandy while expanding into Grand Est, Hauts-de-France, and Île-de-France. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors.
