DM ARCHITECTE DE MARCO is available for new projects

DM-Architectes is an architecture and urban planning practice founded in 1993, recognised for its commitment to sustainability and urban and landscape coherence. The practice has been led by Ugo De Marco since 2016, with Aymeric Bettinger joining as a partner in 2021. Both are HMONP-qualified architects, bringing a contemporary vision firmly focused on today’s environmental and societal challenges.

The practice works at every scale of sustainable urban development, with particular attention to landscape integration and the everyday use of spaces. Guided by values of collaboration, inclusivity and pragmatism, the team approaches every project with in-depth consideration, providing thoughtful, resilient solutions for both public- and private-sector clients. Its portfolio includes housing, residential developments, commercial buildings and public or community facilities, particularly in education and leisure.

Its approach is based on a comprehensive analysis of the wider context, encompassing landscape, social, economic, ecological, cultural, geographical and ergonomic considerations. Through attentive dialogue with project partners, the team seeks to identify the practices and connections that bring architecture, the environment and users together, helping shape lasting change over the coming decades and supporting the transition towards low-carbon construction.

At DM-Architectes, the success of every project depends on close collaboration and continuous communication within the team.

Partners Ugo De Marco and Aymeric Bettinger lead the overall design process and coordinate the wider project team. They work collaboratively throughout the design stages, turning ideas into tangible, sustainable architectural solutions. Their complementary perspectives enrich each project through an ongoing exchange of ideas. Two additional qualified architects strengthen the team, bringing further insight to the design process.

The practice also has extensive experience coordinating communication between the various specialists involved in a project. From the earliest concept stage, the team develops digital models to ensure that the design addresses the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.

Financial rigour is another key aspect of the practice’s approach. Throughout the design process, the team carefully monitors costs to ensure that projects remain within the client’s budget.

To make projects easier to understand and visualise, the practice produces computer-generated images, animations and 3D-printed models, ensuring a clear and accurate representation of the design through to completion. Depending on the client’s requirements, the team also designs interior layouts, spatial concepts, signage and bespoke furniture.

Once the design phase is complete, the practice carefully monitors construction work and oversees its proper execution, ensuring that the finished result lives up to the client’s expectations.
