What erades & bouzat architectes does

Erades & Bouzat Architectes is a French private architecture practice (SARL) founded in 1999 by Céline Bouzat and Christophe Erades, both graduates of the Ecole d'Architecture de Marseille Luminy. The firm is headquartered in Villeneuve-Loubet in the Alpes-Maritimes department and operates with a team of approximately 25 collaborators, delivering architectural design services across residential, cultural, educational, sports, healthcare, and commercial building typologies. Projects are concentrated in the PACA region along the French Riviera, with municipalities served including Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Vence, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Villeneuve-Loubet, Mouans-Sartoux, and Cagnes-sur-Mer, and more recent work extending to Le Cannet, Beausoleil, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, and Valbonne.

The firm's core offering is full-mission architectural design — from competition entry through feasibility, full mission (mission complète), and OPC coordination — frequently as lead architect (mandataire) and in association with peer firms (E.Sansoe et F.Ducic Architectes Associés, Dikansky Architectes, Atelier l'Amarante) and engineering bureaus (BET). Its go-to-market is sales-led and built on winning architecture competitions (concours) for public and private clients, supported by an award record spanning Prix Archicote (2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2023, 2025), Trophées du Bois 2012, Lauréat Palmarès Régional de l'Habitat (2022, 2024), and Prix BTP Avenir 06 2025. The portfolio repeatedly integrates French environmental certifications (HQE, BDM, NF Habitat HQE, RT 2012, RE2020), positioning the firm for tenders that require RE2020 compliance.

The client base is split between a public-sector core (municipalities such as Ville de Nice and Ville de Cannes, fire services via SDIS 06, social housing operators including Adoma-CDC Habitat, Côte d'Azur Habitat OPAM, Logis Familial, and 1001 vies Habitat) and a private developer segment that has grown to include Vinci Immobilier, Icade Promotion, Spirit Immobilier, Promoca, Les Nouveaux Constructeurs, and Riviera Réalisation, with infrastructure-concession clients ENGIE COFELY and Eiffage Concession on larger and more complex programs. Revenue is generated through professional-services fees tied to project scope and mission type; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates with €100,000 of stated SARL capital, no external institutional shareholders, and no M&A activity to date.
