JESSICA BARANES ARCHITECTE is available for new projects

An Architectural Approach Combining Precision and Sensitivity

A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris-Malaquais, Jessica BARANES has built her practice around a strong conviction: architecture should not merely respond to constraints—it should transform them into opportunities for quality and innovation.

Her education at Paris-Malaquais, an institution renowned for its interdisciplinary approach, has shaped her ability to embrace complexity. This training enabled her to develop a rare combination of technical expertise and creative thinking, where rigorous architectural knowledge serves as the foundation for thoughtful, people-centred design.

The Art of Mastering Complexity

Jessica specialises in the design and delivery of complex architectural projects, balancing two fundamental principles:

Technical Excellence and Regulatory Compliance

Jessica views regulatory requirements—including fire safety regulations, accessibility standards for public-access buildings (ERP), and the strict operational, hygiene, and circulation requirements of healthcare facilities—not as limitations, but as the essential framework for creating safe, efficient, and long-lasting spaces. Her goal is to ensure that this technical complexity remains invisible to users, allowing spaces to feel intuitive and effortless.

User Experience and Creative Design

Whether delivering a major energy-efficient renovation or designing the identity of a commercial space, Jessica BARANES places people at the heart of every project. She combines high thermal performance with careful attention to natural light, materiality, interior layouts, and spatial experience.

In commercial environments, this approach transforms a brand's identity into a memorable customer experience. In healthcare facilities, it helps create welcoming, calming spaces that support both patients and healthcare professionals.

Ultimately, her work is about creating coherence. Every project—regardless of its scale—is approached through a holistic vision that balances technical performance, full regulatory compliance, and architectural quality.

Areas of Expertise

• Building Permits & Technical Studies

Jessica provides comprehensive support for planning applications, building permits, and prior declarations. She also carries out thermal performance studies to ensure full compliance with French environmental regulations (RE2020), helping optimise energy efficiency from the earliest design stages.

• Public-Access Buildings (ERP): Compliance & Approvals

With extensive expertise in accessibility and fire safety regulations, Jessica manages the preparation and submission of compliance files for all categories of public-access buildings (Category 1 to Category 5). She oversees applications for building works authorisations and ensures full compliance with accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility (PRM), creating safe and inclusive environments.

• Architecture & Project Management

Jessica manages projects from concept to completion. From the initial design sketches through construction supervision, she closely monitors every stage to ensure high-quality execution, respect for deadlines, budget control, and long-term durability.

• Healthcare Architecture

She designs healthcare environments that successfully combine strict hygiene and safety requirements with comfort and well-being, creating functional spaces tailored to both patients and medical staff.

• Commercial Architecture & Interior Design

Jessica creates distinctive commercial environments by carefully designing layouts, selecting materials, and developing lighting concepts that enhance the customer journey while strengthening each brand's identity.
