Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes

What Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes does

Bourgeois / Lechasseur architectes is a private contemporary architecture partnership founded in 2011 by Olivier Bourgeois and Régis Lechasseur, both 2006 graduates of Laval University's professional master's program in architecture. The firm operates from two offices in Quebec — 535 Boulevard Langelier in Quebec City (headquarters) and a consulting office at 74 Chemin Boisville Ouest in L'Étang-du-Nord on the Îles-de-la-Madeleine — and serves clients across the broader Quebec region, including Charlevoix, Eastern Townships, and Côte-de-Beaupré. Its design philosophy centers on the interplay of form, light, and spatial discovery, articulated through recurring dualities (tradition and modernity, audacity and sobriety, demarcation and integration, urban and maritime).

The firm's core product is professional architectural design services delivered across three segments: residential (primary residences, vacation homes, chalets, expansions, and renovations), commercial (retail, offices, restaurants, medical facilities, automotive dealerships), and public/municipal (town halls, public squares, community facilities, artist residencies, SEPAQ tourism infrastructure). Work is executed by a multidisciplinary team of 11 members comprising two founding associate architects, three senior architects/technologists, three candidates for the profession, one architectural technologist, and one administrative assistant/interior designer. The portfolio spans 98 documented projects since founding, including flagship commissions such as the Prémont Harley-Davidson dealership (~8,000 sqm), Complexe Santé Lévis-Les Rivières (5,600 sqm), the Municipality of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine town hall renovation, and the Place des Gens de Mer public square.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees billed across the full architectural process from concept design through site supervision. The go-to-market model is sales-led and reputation-driven: the firm acquires projects through its built portfolio, Wallpaper Magazine 2011 '20 of the World's Best Emerging Architects' recognition, ongoing roles as critics at Laval University, and direct client engagement rather than through intermediaries or paid channels. Distribution is conducted through the two physical offices with portfolio-marketing support via a bilingual French/English website and organic Instagram and Facebook presences. Notable strategic relationships include co-founding membership of the PLUX.5 design collective and project partnerships with Coarchitecture on government commissions such as the SEPAQ Duchesnay Station chalet and nautical center.
