The Studio

Nicolas Laisné Architectes was founded in 2005 The firm develops urban planning, architecture and interior design projects, from design to execution and site supervision. It works for public authorities, as well as private players and individuals, in France and abroad. Nicolas Laisné is the founder.

The firm has taken part in a number of international events, including the Venice Biennale in 2021 It was recognised in the ‘Habitat’ category of the Equerre d’Argent in 2019, and received an Award from the Council of Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) of Chicago in 2020.

Based in a former 3-storey industrial building in the heart of Paris, converted into a workshop, Nicolas Laisné Architectes now has a team of more than 20 people, architects and designers from all backgrounds. The team’s expertise ranges from design to execution, to site supervision and even extends to interior design.

The firm is part of a prolifically creative ecosystem, where the dialogue also includes philosophers, agronomists, botanists, artists and data scientists. Each project gives rise to a dedicated multi-disciplinary team

The firm Nicolas Laisné Architectes is the reflection of the welcoming and generous personalities who are part of it. It functions on collaboration and exchanges, which enable every individual to express their own wealth of talent. With the shared purpose of designing projects that are both simple and ambitious, where technical innovation is at the service of sustainability.

Its achievements and current projects (‘L’Arbre Blanc’, the ‘Arboretum‘ in Nanterre, ‘L’Atelier de l’Arsenal’ in Paris, ‘Nice Méridia’…) bear witness to its desire to open up architecture. To create more space for all, including nature, in ever denser cities. To cater to new habits in society, and the way they so rapidly evolve. To make the sharing of space a joyfully convivial experience.

Sensitivity, inventiveness and common sense enable the firm nicolas laisné architects to resolve complex equations with accessible solutions. Open-minded and daring, the firm develops its projects on the international scene to accompany evolving urban lifestyles, wherever they may be.
