CHART ARCHITECTE is available for new projects

CHART Architecte develops an architectural approach that is contemporary, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in its local environment.

Based in the Lyon region, the firm works on a wide range of projects, including:

• private houses,
• extensions,
• heritage renovations,
• transformations of existing buildings,
• and more technical architectural projects.

Particular attention is given to the quality of spaces, natural light, and construction coherence.

Each project is approached as a unique response to a specific site, landscape, and way of living. Rather than imposing a uniform architectural style, the agency seeks to reveal the full potential of each location. This philosophy results in architecture that is understated, sustainable, and carefully integrated into its surroundings, where volumes, materials, and everyday uses naturally interact with the environment. Special attention is paid to sloping sites, framed views, the relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, and the enhancement of existing buildings.

CHART Architecte also places great importance on the use of bio-based and geo-based materials, particularly timber and rammed earth, reinterpreted through a contemporary architectural language. The firm promotes long-lasting architecture designed to provide thermal comfort, functional spaces, and simplicity of use while reducing environmental impact. This sensitivity to materials is complemented by continuous research into light, atmosphere, and materiality.

Its experience in construction management and civil engineering enables the agency to confidently tackle technically complex projects with both precision and practicality. This dual expertise, combining architectural design with construction knowledge, is one of the firm's greatest strengths. It allows for efficient collaboration with contractors, engineering consultants, and all project stakeholders, from the initial concept through to completion.

Beyond design, CHART Architecte places strong emphasis on human relationships and client support. Listening, clear communication, and a deep understanding of users' needs are central to its working philosophy. Every project is considered a collaborative journey, where constraints become opportunities for creativity and architecture ultimately serves to create sustainable, balanced, and enjoyable places to live.
