An international architecture firm in Paris

Our offices around the world

Patriarche is an agency with 10 offices in France, Switzerland, and Canada. They are connected by a shared vision: one of architecture designed to be built and inhabited. However, each office’s ambition is rooted in local anchoring. This is reflected in an understanding of each location’s specific challenges and in collaborative work with local stakeholders.

Your Paris-based architect

Our architecture office is located in close proximity to Paris, in Ivry-sur-Seine. It is based within the Yuri building at 53 Boulevard du Colonel Fabien. As such, our team works on projects in France and internationally, across a wide range of sectors: industry, commercial, healthcare, laboratories and R&D, education, refurbishment, and more.

An augmented architecture practice in Paris

A multidisciplinary platform: architects, urban planners, engineers…

Patriarche is an augmented architecture practice, meaning it operates as a multidisciplinary, multi-expertise platform serving each project. Architects, engineers, urban planners, interior architects, landscape designers, real estate operators, service providers, visual designers, BIM managers… This platform fosters innovation and collective intelligence, in support of projects with positive impact.

Supporting every stage of a project

Our augmented architecture model is structured around five entities.

Bart | Patriarche, client/developer (project owner)
Patriarche, architect, engineer and designer
Autumn | Patriarche, general contractor
Myah | Patriarche, general contractor for interior fit-out
Walter | Patriarche, operator, service provider, and space activator

When all entities are engaged, the Paris-based architecture practice is able to support its clients throughout the entire project. Additionally, depending on the project, it is possible to activate only certain entities in order to collaborate with other stakeholders. The model is therefore open and flexible, with an agile configuration that adapts to the context and specific challenges of each client.

Approach, services and areas of expertise in architecture

Architectural design

As architects in Paris, our design approach serves a functional aesthetic that is pleasant to live in and capable of evoking emotion. First and foremost, we place great importance on creating atmospheres that foster serendipity and a sense of community. From the drawing stage to construction, design is shaped by materials, volumes, the impact of light, views, and spatial journeys. This approach is notably illustrated in our interior architecture project in Paris: Boulevard Brune Offices for La Poste Immo.

User needs at the core of the project

Our projects are driven by the ambition to meet the evolving needs of users. In other words, they are at the heart of our thinking and guide our design throughout the entire process. We pay particular attention to the flexibility of spaces and how they are appropriated by their users.

Our environmental approach

At first glance, finding a strong eco-responsible architect in Paris is a key concern for many clients seeking sustainable projects. At Patriarche, we activate concrete levers to ensure environmental performance: bioclimatic design, material selection, construction methods, space optimization, reuse, reversible buildings, greenery integration, renewable energy, energy-efficient equipment, and more. Furthermore, we prioritize rehabilitation and renovation, which account for 60% of our projects.
