Co-founded by Charlotte Guillochon and Victor Mesguich, Atelier Apara is an architecture studio driven by a passion for creating projects that are sensitive and responsive to economic, social, ecological, and territorial challenges.

The studio develops a wide range of projects—from individual and collective housing to shared offices, community and retail spaces, public facilities, and scenographic installations—always with a conscious approach to context and local issues.

Mindful of contemporary challenges, Atelier Apara is committed to using bio-sourced materials and bioclimatic design principles to ensure energy and environmental sustainability, while enhancing and revealing existing heritage.

Throughout this process, the studio continuously questions the economy of means and the use of resources—technical, human, and material. Its ambition is to propose an architecture that is both essential and adaptable, reflecting on usage, structural relevance, spatial distribution, the interplay between interior and exterior, as well as semantic and aesthetic dimensions.

Every project is carefully crafted, taking into account the specific habits and expectations of its clients. Favoring a collaborative process and collective intelligence, the studio is convinced that dialogue among all stakeholders nurtures creativity and enables tailored responses to the needs of users.
