L'ATELIER DP

What L'ATELIER DP does

L'ATELIER DP (legal entity: Atelier dp SARL) is a Paris-based architecture firm founded in 2011 by co-founders Marie-Sophie Devaux (architecte DESA) and François-Xavier Puech (architecte DPLG), both 2007 graduates. The firm specializes in the design, renovation, extension, and rehabilitation of public, cultural, educational, and leisure buildings in the Île-de-France region. Its service offering spans the full project lifecycle — from feasibility studies through construction supervision and interior design — with particular expertise in wood-frame and concrete construction systems adapted to constrained urban sites.

The firm operates primarily through public procurement (marchés publics) contracts with municipal governments, delivering projects for libraries, childcare facilities (crèches), schools, sports halls, and community centers. Disclosed project construction values range from approximately €350,000 (Salle de la Tour) to €3.5M (Centre de loisirs Compayré), reflecting the scope of work typically commissioned by municipalities. Atelier DP also undertakes occasional private commissions, including the 2021 EUROVIA office restructuring project, representing its limited entry into corporate workspace work.

Business operations are supported by a stable ecosystem of technical partners: structural engineering firms (BET ARPEGE-ING, BET LAMALLE), HVAC/plumbing specialist BET ETE45, acoustic consultancy GDP, cost consultancy CME BTP, asbestos remediation specialist BVS, and project owner assistants (Paris Service Habitat, Aménagement 77). The firm has no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding rounds, and remains a founder-owned SARL with €10,000 registered capital and an employee count in the 1–10 range.
