Since its creation in 2005, Atelier Téqui has experienced steady and continuous growth by competing in and winning numerous architectural competitions. It has distinguished itself through the variety of programs it has undertaken, the range of project scales, and the diversity of geographic contexts. From new constructions to rehabilitations, extensions, and rooftop additions, the firm works on a wide array of facilities, office buildings, and housing projects across France: from Arras to Bordeaux, via Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Troyes, Dijon, Rennes, Angoulême, Saint-Nazaire, and Mayotte.
In 2018, Louis Téqui was recognized by The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies as one of the forty architects under forty in Europe (40 under 40) who “will shape the near future of European architecture, both in theory and in practice.”
Atelier Téqui focuses on expressing structural truth, optimizing resources, and achieving precision in execution. The firm’s architecture is driven by concerns of sustainability and durability, with particular attention to the quality of materials and their implementation.
Its practice aims to reveal the genius of a place, to highlight the nobility of materials, the richness of craftsmanship, and to allow the past to illuminate the future. It is rooted in local contexts in order to continue, develop, affirm, or reveal their hidden value. The firm embraces the complexity of the world and values human relationships, the history of places, and collective memory.
Ranked as the 15th most committed architectural firm for low-carbon architecture by Séquences Bois and a member of the Association for the Development of Low-Carbon Buildings, Atelier Téqui Architects designs its projects with a strong preference for local, bio-based, and geo-sourced materials.
