What Y&Y Studio does

Y&Y Studio is a Paris-based boutique architecture studio founded in 2022 by co-founders Victoire Bailly and Armelle Cuny, both holders of the French State Architecture Diploma (Diplôme d'État d'Architecte) and qualified maîtrise d'œuvre professionals. The firm specializes in the renovation and transformation of existing spaces — particularly Haussmann-era apartments — delivering residential services (apartments, houses, surélévations, extensions) and commercial services (boutiques, restaurants, offices, hotels) across Paris, Normandie, PACA, and Île-de-France. Service delivery is organized around two complementary poles: Conseil (advisory) covering feasibility, investment structuring, and project management; and Création (creative design) covering concept development, custom furniture, 3D volumetry, moodboards, material selection, and construction supervision.

The studio operates at 1-10 employees and generates revenue through project-based professional services fees — quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed, with no recurring contracts. The commercial offering follows a structured 7-step process from real estate strategy through construction delivery, while residential engagements span property search assistance through project completion. Customer acquisition relies on organic social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest), the firm's website, and referrals. The business is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or disclosed funding; ownership and operational control are concentrated in the two co-founders. No revenue, patents, certifications, or third-party awards are disclosed.
