Haddock Architecture

What Haddock Architecture does

Haddock Architecture is a French architecture firm (SARL d'architecture) operating from Paris and Nantes, founded in 2018 by five architects including Maxime Douche, Pierre-Alexadre Poix, Louise Deleury, Baptiste Pernot, and Adrian De Luna. The firm positions itself around "rational and frugal architecture" and a participatory design process in which end-users are embedded in the design phase. Its portfolio spans housing, school groups, social housing, civic buildings, and public transport infrastructure, with project fees ranging from €99K to €3.1M (HT) and activity across five French regions — Île-de-France, Centre-Val de Loire, Pays de la Loire, Occitanie, and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

The firm generates revenue through standard architecture fee contracts on public-sector commissions, housing programmes, and competitions. Revenue mechanics are project-based and tied to French public-tender cycles, with notable projects including the Noisy Champs Ecostation (2024), Charentilly central pole (2024), La Maison des Jardiniers (delivered 2023 with E+C- label), and La Bussonnière and Saint-Ouen-en-Belin social housing (delivered 2025). The firm does not appear to be VC- or PE-backed, runs as a small practice of 1-10 employees, and has no disclosed acquisitions, funding rounds, or external investors. Recognition has come through the French architecture award circuit (Prix Architecture Occitane 2019, Prix d'architecture 10+1 2020, Prix Charles Abella 2021, Prix d'Architectures 2021 nomination, Archinovo 2022).
