We envision urbanism as a means to build sustainable and livable cities. For us, urban planning goes beyond simple space planning; it is about designing integrated and integrating urban ecosystems that promote a life without fractures.

We adopt urban strategies that promote sustainability. This involves integrating nature into the city, developing efficient public transport and creating energy-autonomous neighborhoods. Inclusivity is also at the heart of our projects, ensuring that urban spaces are accessible and welcoming for all.

With the experience of our practice, we have invented a new profession; climate urban planning, which can be defined as a set of new ways of thinking about cities, guided by concerns related to climate change. These must influence not only the way we imagine the future of the urban environment but also the way we design and plan it, with an obvious impact on societal resilience.
In collaboration with scientists, we anticipate the effects of climate change at a micro-urban scale and develop solutions to address them. This includes designing resilient buildings and infrastructure, efficient stormwater management, and creating urban microclimates to improve the comfort of inhabitants.

These illustrate our commitment to thoughtful and responsible urban planning. These projects, varied in size and function, reflect our ability to respond to contemporary challenges of urbanization.

We are convinced that urban planning must evolve to meet environmental challenges. We are determined to be at the forefront of this evolution, designing cities that respect and enrich their natural and climatic environment.
Our work in the field of urban planning has a significant impact on how cities develop and interact with their citizens and the environment. We are proud to contribute to shaping the cities of tomorrow.

Our architecture focuses on revealing and enhancing the unique character of each place and each client. We adopt an approach that highlights the distinct identity of our projects, in harmony with their environment.

For us, a sustainable project is born from its roots. Each choice is guided by our responsibility towards the living. We seek to give roots back to places and beings, trying to reconnect spaces with their natural and cultural histories.
The projects in Africa developed by the second generation of Bechu already integrated bioclimatic principles in the 1950s and nature was very present in the landscaping designs elaborated by the agency at that time.

Inspired by Le Corbusier's vision: "Technique spoken in poet leads to architecture", we combine technological innovation and artistic sensitivity. Our projects reflect this synergy, blending technical rigor with a poetic and sensitive expression of space.

Our architectural approach is a balance between innovation, respect for context and sustainability. As founding members of the BBCA label, we embody a cutting-edge vision in sustainable construction. Specialists in low carbon, we are committed to minimizing the environmental footprint of our projects, integrating eco-responsible solutions at all stages of design and implementation.
We are committed to creating architecture that dialogues with its environment, respectful of its past and oriented towards the future. Our mission is to design spaces that not only meet the current needs of our clients and users, but also fit into a long-term sustainability perspective, thus contributing to the construction of a greener future.

Our team of heritage architects brings its unique expertise to the restoration of historical monuments. This expertise allows us to bring back to life buildings steeped in history while respecting their original essence.

We have carried out numerous interventions on listed and historical monument sites, where each restoration is a celebration of history, meticulously preserved and integrated into the contemporary context.

Our work in heritage is a natural extension of our own century-old family history. For us, preserving heritage is not just a profession, it is a family tradition, a continuation of our respect and love for architecture through generations.

In our quest for responsible and sustainable architecture, we adopt a bold strategy: "Hybridize, Regenerate, Renew". This vision guides our approach to urban rehabilitation, where each project becomes a unique opportunity to reinvent and revitalize existing spaces. We firmly believe in the importance of connection to public space and in the urban approach of intensifying use to create more vibrant and inclusive communities.

Our philosophy of "The City on the City" aims to integrate new structures into the existing, fostering a harmonious exchange between past and future. This method allows for more efficient space management, responding to densification requirements while preserving the identity of places.

By emphasizing public spaces as dynamic living spaces, we work towards an architecture that stimulates social connection, promotes biodiversity and addresses sustainability challenges.

This strategy allows us to preserve heritage while meeting contemporary needs. By integrating innovative designs and sustainable technologies, we transform urban spaces into dynamic and functional places.

Our work in urban rehabilitation is a celebration of harmony between past and present, creating spaces that respect history while embracing the future.

In close collaboration with our partner agency Volume ABC, led by Alienor Bechu, we explore interior architecture and design as an extension of our global architectural vision.

This tailor-made approach ensures that each space is a faithful expression of the client's needs and values, integrating principles of functionality and use at every stage.

Volume ABC presents an extensive range of achievements, from private residences to luxury hotels, offices to commercial spaces, as well as furniture and object creations. This diversity demonstrates an unwavering commitment to excellence in design, highlighting a deep passion and curiosity for a complete understanding of the profession.

Our landscaping practice goes beyond embellishment: it is part of an "active nature" approach, where the design of voids precedes that of solids, thus surpassing the traditional notion of landscape.
By envisioning landscape as a key to designing the solid, we allow the city to reintegrate into the cycles of the living, adopting the principles of biomimicry to create living urban ecosystems where biodiversity thrives at every layer, from the ground to vertical walls, up to the "sky level".

We dedicate ourselves to designing projects with positive biodiversity, fostering a symbiosis between architecture and landscape for a harmonious coexistence between man and nature. This approach underlines our commitment to creating green spaces that are socially, economically, and educationally enriching.

As signatories of the BiodiverCity® charter, our mission is to promote spaces that restore and enrich the city-nature balance. We work for projects that respect and enhance urban biological diversity.
