Today, Patriarche is recognised for its ability to combine functionality, aesthetics, environmental and societal performance in ambitious and timeless projects.

An international, agile and versatile agency.
A simple and reactive governance
As a family-owned group, Patriarche is currently managed by 7 managing partners , 10 partners and 18 associates, spread across all the agencies to ensure responsiveness and rapid. decision-making.
10 offices around the world
We are open to all cultures and can provide the right answer in very different contexts.
