Its aesthetic, which also draws its origins from elements of the Renaissance, results from the search for noble and simple lines, balance and sobriety of the decor. Likewise, our projects in contemporary architecture first of all follow the search for the ideal proportion to create harmonious facades and volumes.

From the great era of Louis XIV to Art Deco in 1930, followed by the modernism style, our team know how to use each architectural expression perfectly to magnify each client’s project and blend in it harmoniously with the landscape of the city and its urban fabric.

From the site geographical data and the project specifications, after a study of the volume and ideal proportions, “Paris Classical Architecture” offers preliminary studies with sketches often in the form of watercolors in the taste of the best style, then performs design missions that extend from the Draft Project to architectural monitoring, including 3D models to ensure respect for the smallest detail and style of the project during construction.

To complete your project, “Paris Classical Architecture” also offers the harmonious layout of the gardens as well as urban plans for a district or a residential complex in order to enhance your buildings in an urban landscape matching the project.
