Novia

What Novia does

Novia is a privately-held French architecture and engineering firm (agence d'architecture et d'ingénierie) operating across four integrated disciplines: Architecture, Ingénierie (civil/structural and VRD engineering), Patrimoine (heritage architecture), and MOEX (maîtrise d'œuvre d'exécution / construction oversight). The firm acts as mandataire, coordinating design disciplines and external engineering partners to deliver projects from conception through construction completion under a single point of accountability. Its portfolio spans logistics and industrial facilities, sports complexes, urban parks, mixed-use and residential developments, heritage restorations, and EHPAD/care facilities, with disclosed project construction values ranging from €500K to €45M.

The firm operates from two offices: Novia Architecture in Paris (95 rue Montmartre, 75002) and Novia Ingénierie in Grésy-sur-Aix (800 route des Bauges, 73100), staffed by approximately 14 professionals combining ESTP-trained engineers, HMONP-qualified architects, and a specialist Architecte du Patrimoine. The team is led by Pierre Beuzit (Président, Architecture), Stephan Fajg (Président, Ingénierie), Pierre Mouchel (DG, heritage architect and engineer), and associate Paul Pelletier (joined February 2026 from Atelier M3/Soho Paris). Projects span ten French regions plus La Réunion and have achieved BREEAM Very Good to Excellent and Bio Divercity certifications on logistics mandates.

Novia generates revenue through project-based professional services fees on architecture, engineering, heritage, and MOEX mandates for both public-sector clients (municipalities and intercommunalities) and private developers/operators (VINCI, SOGARIS, LEGENDRE, DYNACITE, DALKIA, Tikehau, PRD/Windrose, Crédit Agricole Centre France). New business is won through direct client relationships, public procurement, and earned media (industry press coverage of flagship projects). The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent, outside investors, or revenue figures; its website is published through a separate EURL, jbk studio.
