Generic plans, disconnected from site and season. Materials chosen for cost, not character. We think architecture deserves better than that — and so do the people who inhabit it.

Most buildings are designed to impress — not to be lived in.

The problem

normal-case

none

Every space is designed around how it will actually be lived in — not just how it will look in photos.

Clarity of intent

Sous-titre de l'élément

We read the land, the light, the climate. Our buildings belong to their site.

Sensitive to context

Materials chosen for durability and aging gracefully, not for trend cycles.

Client reviews

Sophie Marchand

Private client, Paris

"Acme Studio listened to us from the first meeting. The house they designed feels like it was always meant to be there."

Laurent Devaux

CEO, Atelier Nord

"Our new office space has genuinely changed how our team works. The light alone was worth every euro."

Isabelle Chen

Director, Linden Gallery

"They understood the brief without us having to over-explain. The result is quiet and confident — exactly right."

Founded in 2016, Acme Studio is a Paris-based architecture practice with a team of eight. We take on a limited number of projects each year so every client gets our full attention. We have delivered homes, offices, and cultural buildings across Europe and Japan. Our work is driven by craft, context, and an honest relationship with materials.

A small studio with a long view.

Common questions

Overline

With a site visit and an open conversation. We want to understand how you live or work before we touch a pencil.

How does a project typically start?

Residential projects typically take 12–18 months from first sketch to handover. Commercial projects vary by scale.

What is your average project timeline?

Yes. We have delivered projects across France, Italy, Norway, and Japan. Distance is not an obstacle for the right project.

Do you work internationally?

We do not design "in a style." Every project starts from zero — the context, the client, and the brief drive the result.

What styles do you work in?

We take on a small number of projects each year. If yours feels like a fit, let's talk.
