PAYEN ALEXIS is available for new projects

Founded in Paris in 2017 by Alexis Payen and Niccolò Fulchignoni, two architects trained at the École Spéciale d’Architecture, STUDIO ALPI was born out of a strong friendship and a shared vision of the profession. Their agency emerged from the desire to design projects that are both poetic and pragmatic, shaped through constant dialogue with each client.

From the very beginning, STUDIO ALPI has embraced a comprehensive and deeply human approach to architecture. The firm oversees all phases of a project — from the initial concept to the completion of works — with unwavering attention to coherence, transparency, and quality. It defends a singular vision: that of a living, quiet architecture, able to evolve in harmony with changing uses and lifestyles. Their projects often incorporate custom furniture design, allowing spaces to reinvent themselves over time.

Based in Paris, the firm mainly operates in the capital and its surrounding areas. Its portfolio includes apartment, office, and retail renovations, interior design, as well as 3D visualizations and detailed plans within full project management assignments. This versatility enables STUDIO ALPI to approach every project with the same pursuit of precision, regardless of its scale or budget.

The firm’s work is regularly praised by clients for its creativity, rigor, and attentive listening. Whether transforming a 24 m² studio into a warm, optimized living space, or restructuring professional premises with elegance, STUDIO ALPI consistently strives to exceed expectations by placing people at the heart of every project.

For the agency, time is an essential material. Spaces are conceived to adapt, transform, and grow with those who inhabit them. The goal is not simply to build, but to create living environments — flexible, quiet, and deeply rooted in daily life — spaces that truly breathe.
