Nicolas Laisne

Nicolas Laisné founded his firm nicolas laisné architectes in 2005. The firm develops urban planning, architecture and interior design projects, from design to execution and site supervision. With his team of 40 people, based in Montreuil, he works for public authorities, as well as private players and individuals, in France and abroad. Through his open-mindedness, his natural curiosity and his taste for dialogue, Nicolas Laisné has multiple influences and limits the weight of dogma. His joined-up vision of architecture allows him to invite philosophers, agronomists, botanists, artists and even data scientists to his table. He puts together a new multi-disciplinary and international team for each project. His latest achievements and current projects (‘L’Arbre Blanc’, the ‘Arboretum‘ in Paris-La Défense, ‘Anis’ in the South of France…) bear witness to his desire to open up architecture. To create more space for all, including nature, in ever denser cities. To cater to new habits in society, and the way they so rapidly evolve. To make the sharing of space a joyfully convivial experience. Sensitivity, inventiveness and common sense enable Nicolas Laisné to resolve complex equations with accessible solutions. Open-minded and daring, his firm develops its projects on the international scene to accompany evolving urban lifestyles, wherever they may be.
