peau neuve + octopus studio is available for new projects

Peau Neuve – Stéphanie RIPOCHE, Architect

Founded by Stéphanie RIPOCHE, Peau Neuve develops an architectural approach focused on housing and the intelligent transformation of existing buildings, through extensions and/or renovations. Her work is rooted in rehabilitation, restructuring, and the enhancement of spaces, with particular attention paid to:

• use,
• light,
• sustainability.

Each project is conceived as a bespoke response, where architecture engages in dialogue with context, technical constraints, and user expectations. The agency works on a wide range of programs—housing, offices, facilities, and retail—integrating sober and long-lasting solutions. Peau Neuve advocates a pragmatic and sensitive architecture that prioritizes rational design, spatial quality, material accuracy, and the clarity of volumes.

The agency mainly operates in the Pays de la Loire region.
