ATELIER ONDRA SARL is available for new projects

The Studio

Atelier Ondra is an architecture practice dedicated to designing projects that are thoughtful, context-driven, and rooted in the existing built environment and the way people use spaces. Every commission begins with careful listening, research, and dialogue, ensuring that each design responds to the unique characteristics of its site and its users.

The studio places particular emphasis on the transformation of existing buildings and the evolution of contemporary construction methods. Its work is guided by an ongoing process of research and experimentation, exploring more sustainable and environmentally responsible ways of designing and building.

Rather than relying on predetermined solutions, Atelier Ondra develops projects grounded in reality, using research, experimentation, contemporary design tools, construction techniques, and digital fabrication as essential parts of the creative process.

Vision and Methodology

Every project is approached as a carefully structured process that takes into account technical, regulatory, and construction realities from the very beginning.

The studio pays close attention to feasibility, collaboration with contractors, and the practical conditions of construction, ensuring consistency from the first sketch through to the completion of the building site.

Its architectural practice spans a wide range of scales—from private residential projects to more complex programmes—while maintaining the same commitment to precision, coherence, and design quality.

The Founder

Founded by Louise DEGUINE, a graduate of ENSA Paris-Malaquais and a qualified HMONP architect, Atelier Ondra draws upon experience gained in several architectural practices in both France and abroad.

These professional experiences have included projects ranging from renovation and adaptive reuse to interior architecture, residential developments, commercial spaces, office buildings, and more experimental design work.

Her approach is characterised by a strong interest in materials, environmental issues, and the relationship between design, fabrication, and construction. Research, experimentation, and bespoke solutions remain at the heart of every project.

Alongside her architectural practice, Louise has also developed a teaching activity focused on digital modelling and digital fabrication, strengthening her expertise in contemporary design tools while maintaining a practical understanding of construction methods.

Project Partners

Today, Atelier Ondra supports both private and professional clients on renovation, extension, new-build, and interior architecture projects.

The studio collaborates with a trusted network of local partners selected according to the specific requirements of each project, ensuring coherent project management and high-quality execution.

Based in Ciboure, Atelier Ondra primarily operates throughout the French Basque Country and the Basque Coast, offering both full and partial architectural services.
