Lovers of the "Beautiful", Art and Architecture, Nicolas Libert initiated the story of ARCHITECTURES (initially named Ateliers, lofts & Associés) in April 1998.
This visionary founder who cherishes the singular and collects contemporary art, shakes up the codes of real estate by creating in Paris, the first agency exclusively dedicated to "extra-ordinary" places. For the first time in France, a real estate agency will give remarkable properties, steeped in history and endowed with rare volumes, the opportunity to experience a second life thanks to a handful of enthusiasts looking for a different way of living. 26 years later, with about fifty employees and eight agencies on French territory, the bet is more than successful...
2023 : "Ateliers, lofts & Associés" becomes Architectures
Since 1998, architecture has been the very essence of our profession and our character, constantly opening up to new fields: industrial, transformed, urban, vernacular or contemporary, it has shaped our offer and nourished our minds. Gradually, the living space has also partially metamorphosed into a professional space, imposing a necessary versatility of uses. Residential architecture is now declining in plural architectures, naturally leading to the mutation of Ateliers, lofts & Associés into "ARCHITECTURES".
This change of identity reaffirms today our commitment to all singular and contemporary architectures, those which for more than 26 years have forged our DNA and our values, those which allow us today, more than ever, to share emotions for the success of our clients' projects.
