Presentation

L’Atelier Correia is deeply rooted in its surrounding area. From this environment, its architects draw inspiration, references and colours, showing respect for built heritage and paying close attention to natural and sustainable materials. The rural backcloth is a laboratory where one can imagine life in the future: closer to nature, with no frontiers between town and country, activating local sectors, giving priority to traditional know-how and human qualities. The studio thus positions itself on highly diverse programmes: private homes (detached houses, second homes, town houses), public buildings (cultural, sports, administrative, and educational facilities), hotels–restaurants (luxury hotels, middle market, kitchens…), stores, industrial buildings (factories, warehouses, craftsmen’s workshops), agricultural and breeding premises (riding centres, farms…), redevelopment of village centres, definition studies, advice for gardens, landscaping, and urban studies.

Good to know

L’Atelier d’Architecture Correia & Associés was created at the end of the 1990’s by Claude Correia, joined by Cyril Brulé in the early 2000’s.
The SARL was created in 2005 and became a SCOP in December 2022, a company with the specific feature of belonging to its salaried staff, who control it in its entirety.
Since 2023, the agency has positioned itself on research and development thanks to one of its members with a Doctorate in Architecture, teaching in Lyon.
The studio has recently joined the Réseau Français de la Construction Paille.
