FRESH France

Founded in 2007 by three partners with complementary heritages — Anglo-Saxon, Italian, and Swiss — we built FRESH architectures at the crossroads of these cultures and French architectural thought. Today, with a team of around fifty collaborators spread across France, Switzerland, and Romania, we operate on a European scale on urban projects involving the reconstruction of the city upon itself, as well as on heritage buildings to be rehabilitated or transformed.

Our conviction is absolute: beauty in architecture is a right and an ambition. Whatever the economic challenges of our projects, we turn constraints into opportunities to put our creativity at the service of an architecture that generates emotion, connection, and value.

We are both pioneers of the virtual and deeply committed to the human project. We fully integrate emerging technologies without ever compromising on high quality of use or the tangible dialogue made possible by physical models. This total mastery — from pixel to material — guarantees our clients a solid trajectory between idea and execution. Robustness is one of our fundamental qualities: it embodies our tenacity, our ability to defend a demanding concept over the long term, and our constant attentiveness to our clients as well as future users. It is this attention, combined with the pleasure of making architecture with our team members and all project stakeholders, that forges a relationship of deep trust.

In both rehabilitation and new construction, our practice is guided by principles of sobriety: reuse, repurposing, and recycling. We strive to build better with less, to use the right material in the right place, in a reasoned and optimal quantity. Grounded in the principles of bioclimatic architecture, our projects are designed to integrate respectfully into their environment.

Around us, a dynamic network of specialized partners provides us with on-demand agility and expertise. Together, we form a powerful ecosystem, equal to the environmental and societal challenges of the future. This portfolio is a reflection of this: an architecture rooted in reality, designed to last, driven by a united and passionate team.
