NBJ architectes

NBJ practices the diversity of interventions based on the personal paths of the associates and the skills of each employee. This system allows for a commitment in architecture, urban planning, education, research, innovation and architectural diffusion. This method of collective and proven work is present throughout the production process thanks to a personalized approach to each project and owner. The objective is the success of operations through the implementation of pragmatic and operational innovations based on an understanding of needs, analysis of constraints, issues and sharing of the project throughout an ongoing dialogue. Thus, every project inscribed in different scales, whether architectural or urban, is developed with the same attention and nourished by these reflective, operational and collaborative practices.

Their work has been recognized through many distinctions. In September 2008, they were invited to the 11th Venice Biennial of Architecture in the French Pavilion. In the same year they won the “Europe 40 under 40” award, distinguishing the 40 best agencies under 40 in Europe. The project of the Camalcé Activity Park in Gignac was distinguished by the “International Award 2009” awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum. In 2010, they are also winners of the CAMPUS project on the city of Montpellier. In 2014 they receive the AMO—GrDF award for the maintenance center of the Nîmes-Garons Civil Security Helicopter Group. They also realized the restructuring of the Lycée Honoré de Balzac in Castelnau-le-Lez, the wedding hall for the town of Jacou, and the restructuring of a building for the CNRS.

The agency is currently working on a development of ZAC in Gignac, another in Montpellier (Parc 2000 2nd extension), on the implementation of several housing programs on the metropolis of Montpellier and its surroundings, as well as on the Center Technique Municipal de Blagnac.
