PRONAOS is available for new projects

Located in the heart of the Aveyron region, in Valady, ideally positioned between Rodez and Decazeville, PRONAOS Architecture is dedicated to the restoration, rehabilitation, and preservation of architectural heritage. Passionate about historic buildings and traditional craftsmanship, the agency specializes in bringing new life to existing structures while respecting their history, character, and cultural significance.

As heritage-focused architects, the team works with a wide range of clients and property owners. Whether overseeing the restoration of historic monuments, castles, manor houses, and remarkable residences, or rehabilitating traditional rural homes and agricultural buildings, PRONAOS applies the same tailored and rigorous approach to every project. Each assignment is treated as a unique opportunity to preserve the architectural identity of a place while adapting it to contemporary needs.

The agency provides comprehensive support throughout the entire project process. Its services begin with detailed structural and condition assessments of existing buildings, allowing the team to identify pathologies, evaluate preservation requirements, and define appropriate restoration strategies. PRONAOS then develops architectural concepts and preliminary designs, prepares project specifications, coordinates planning and construction schedules, manages building permit applications, and oversees the consultation and selection of local contractors. The agency remains involved throughout the construction phase, ensuring careful supervision and the successful completion of the work.

One of PRONAOS’ greatest strengths lies in its multidisciplinary team. The practice is led by three partners, including two architects and a heritage-specialized engineer, supported by an employed architect and the valuable expertise of a former Architect of the Buildings of France (ABF). This unique combination of architectural, engineering, and heritage conservation knowledge allows the agency to address both technical and historical challenges with precision and sensitivity.

With more than 25 years of experience working throughout the Aveyron region, PRONAOS has established strong relationships with key institutional stakeholders, including the Regional Directorate of Cultural Affairs (DRAC), current Architects of the Buildings of France, and the Heritage Foundation. These trusted partnerships represent a significant advantage for clients seeking grants, subsidies, and financial assistance for restoration projects, helping to streamline administrative procedures and secure funding opportunities.

Deeply attached to the history and architectural heritage of the region, the agency places great importance on preserving original materials and promoting traditional craftsmanship. Whenever possible, PRONAOS collaborates with local artisans whose expertise contributes to maintaining the authenticity and quality of restoration work. At the same time, the agency carefully integrates modern standards of comfort, functionality, and energy performance to ensure that historic buildings remain suitable for contemporary living.

Every project undertaken by PRONAOS is guided by a commitment to heritage preservation, architectural integrity, and long-term sustainability. Through its expertise, local knowledge, and passion for historic buildings, the agency helps clients safeguard and enhance the value of their properties for future generations.
