Founded in 2003 by Mathieu Chazelle, architect and engineer, Simon Pallubicki, architect and cabinetmaker, and Brice Piechaczyk, architect and engineer, ENIA is one of the top architecture and design firms in France.
Based in France and India, the practice brings together more than 100 professionals from 34 nationalities and with diverse backgrounds that has completed a wide range of projects mainly in Europe, Asia, and Africa, including numerous transport infrastructures (airports, railway stations, or ferry terminals).
This dynamic is strengthen by the research and foresight activity conducted by the firm since its creation, through its internal research structure eniaLAB.
Over more than twenty years, ENIA has designed numerous airport projects as well as a wide variety of public-access buildings (ERP), both in France and internationally. These are complex programs combining strong technical components, high environmental standards, and mixed-use functionalities, which the diversity of its team profiles and its organizational structure enable it to carry out independently, in partnerships, or through co-design processes. In addition to this expertise and its ability to fully express the uniqueness of its projects, ENIA is known for its forward-looking approach and its capacity for innovation, developed in collaboration with its internal research structure, eniaLAB.
Designed to foster collaboration between architects, its dedicated team, as well as the researchers, interns, and doctoral students it regularly welcomes, eniaLAB contributes to a wide range of topics and has specialized in developing new tools and methods (e.g. optimization of decision-making processes).
This approach, both reflective and operational, has already led to the filing of three international patents.
