History
Founded in 1969 by Jean Chabanne (1946–2020), a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts Paris, the original entity was known as Ateliers Chabanne. Hailing from the Loire region, Jean initially developed his architectural practice in Paris. In 1999, after acquiring office space in Lyon, the firm was rebranded as Chabanne et partenaires to emphasize the integration of architectural and engineering expertise.
Currently, the company maintains offices in Paris, Aix-en-Provence, and Saint-Etienne, having formerly operated branches in Montpellier and Geneva, Switzerland. Leadership transitioned to Jean Chabanne’s son, Nicolas (born 1974), who assumed control of the firm in 2011.
