Architecture a2+ is available for new projects

Founded in 2007, the ARCHITECTURE a2+ agency was created with the ambition of offering architecture that is both committed, rigorous, and attentive to uses, territories, and the people who inhabit them.
Founded by Bénédicte VAN WELY, D.P.L.G. architect and a 1999 graduate of the Paris-Villemin School of Architecture, the agency is part of a professional journey enriched by experiences gained in France and abroad, within firms of varied scales and practices.

From the very beginning of her activity, Bénédicte VAN WELY developed a global and cross-disciplinary approach to architectural projects. In 2000, she chose to practice as an independent professional in order to oversee projects in their entirety, from design to completion. This independence allows her to work both in Paris and in the south-east of France, where she established a second office. This dual geographical presence nurtures a practice that is sensitive to both dense urban contexts and more rural territories.

Today, ARCHITECTURE a2+ works across a wide range of programs and scales. In urban environments, the agency primarily develops collective housing projects, social housing and private developments, student residences, as well as projects dedicated to economic and professional activities. In regional areas, it supports a variety of projects ranging from the renovation of collective or individual housing to the construction of agricultural complexes, while also responding to office and commercial developments.

The agency designs projects inspired by both traditional and distinctly contemporary architecture, adapting its architectural language to the context, uses, and expectations of each client.

All projects are carried out with particular attention to existing structures, local know-how, landscape integration, and the economic challenges specific to each territory. The agency places attentive listening, dialogue, and client support at the heart of its approach, in order to offer tailor-made architectural solutions adapted to the needs of public authorities, developers, and private clients alike.

Recognized for its versatility and adaptability, ARCHITECTURE a2+ embraces a resolutely collaborative approach to design. Depending on project requirements, the agency works with multidisciplinary teams composed of architects, urban planners, landscape architects, and engineers. This working method enables the development of coherent and well-controlled solutions that reconcile architectural quality, environmental performance, and economic balance.

Through all of its projects, ARCHITECTURE a2+ advocates for a pragmatic and sensitive architecture—attentive to uses, regulatory and budgetary constraints, as well as contemporary sustainability challenges. Each project is conceived as a specific, context-driven response, founded on ongoing dialogue with clients and partners, asserting a durable, functional architecture deeply rooted in its environment.
