AHORA ARCHITECTES is available for new projects

ARCHITECTURE: A PROFESSION OF CONTINUOUS LEARNING & AWARENESS

Beyond the ongoing evolution of the regulatory framework—which requires constant monitoring of new laws and standards—the practice of architecture is in perpetual transformation. Architects must continuously adapt to new methods, question their practices, and evolve. From their academic background to their professional experience today, the partners of Ahora Architectes have positioned the agency in response to:

• The growing and predominant use of digital tools;
• The implementation of new digital practices: remote work, videoconferencing, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality;
• The increasingly central environmental challenges within the construction sector.

Ahora Architectes undertakes regular training and maintains continuous monitoring of these key issues.

DIVERSE PROJECTS, VARIED CHALLENGES

Ahora Architectes designs new buildings and also works on existing structures, whether to:

• Restore them to a state as close as possible to their original condition (restoration);
• Adapt them to current needs and uses while respecting their character (rehabilitation);
• Extend and/or deeply transform them (renovation).

A COMMITTED & RATIONAL DESIGN PROCESS

The success of any project is based on a relationship of trust between the architect, the various contributors to the design team, and the client—the project owner you become when undertaking a construction project. This trust is built over time. You have already taken, or are in the process of taking, the first step by acquiring or planning to acquire a site or a building.

Each project is a prototype, a material expression of your aspirations. The act of building must respond both to your needs and to a complex regulatory framework, including increasingly demanding environmental requirements.

Ahora Architectes supports you from a starting point that is not a blank page. We help you lay the foundation of your project by defining its scope according to:

• The potential of the site (access, orientation, vegetation, surroundings, views, urban planning regulations);
• Any specific constraints (heritage protection zones, Natural Risk Prevention Plans, wetlands, classified environmental installations, etc.);
• The project’s functional requirements (activity, processes, ergonomics, development);
• Environmental challenges inherent to any construction project;
• The stakeholders required for its realization (inspection bodies, health and safety coordinators, technical design offices: geotechnical, thermal, structural, etc.).

Together, we will assess the feasibility of your project, enabling us to propose the most appropriate offer and support you throughout the realization process.

You will then decide whether to appoint Ahora Architectes to guide you through your project, while helping to consolidate the overall budget—beyond design fees alone—taking into account construction costs and all related expenses.
