Pierre-Arthur is a French architect and co-founder of ORIGINES, an architecture studio founded by Fabien Dupuy, Nicolas Tocrault, and Pierre-Arthur Thibaudeau. They are three architects from different regions of France who share a common vision: a frugal, grounded, and unadorned approach to architecture.Their projects emerge from a deep reading of the site and program. They design enduring buildings where raw materials speak for themselves, shaping spaces that invite movement, experience, and connection. Their architectural language is radical in its refusal of generic, thermally optimized models that flatten identity. Instead, they embrace low-tech systems, rooted in craftsmanship and common sense.Yet beyond structure and function, they strive to create emotionally resonant spaces — places that remain, that belong, and that are meant to be lived in overtime.
