Atelier Archiplein was founded in 2008 by Francis Jacquier (EPFL architect, DSA Ecole de Chaillot) and Marlène Leroux (EPFL architect, PhD in town planning). With offices in Shanghai and Geneva, the agency embraces its position at the crossroads of the Greater Geneva region, while tempering its vision with an infusion of globalized influences derived from eastern Asian exchanges.
The firm is proud of its responsible posture in respect to sustainable development, environmental impact, and historical context. Those issues play an important role in influencing the firm’s contemporary interventions in the built environment, which are driven by a methodology that has proven itself time and again over more than a decade of practice in Europe and Asia.
