ARJITEC celebrates 40 years of expertise as a major player in the development of international projects, from architectural design to interior decoration.
The expertise and reputation of the firm Arjitec, based in Marrakech and in Paris, continues to cross borders internationally through the development of several luxury residences, prestigious private projects and high-end hotels. After several years collaborating with the largest international architectural and decoration agencies, the family enterprise has been trusted with incredibly ambitious projects, and now manages projects in their entirety. Comprised of architects, decorators and engineers, the multidisciplinary agency is fortunate to have the skills of a variety of master craftsmen. As a result, the firm is able to successfully combine the abilities within the team to achieve a complete understanding of the project; from the initial design, the eventual construction and most importantly, to deliver the project in the client’s best interests.

Formerly a railway enclave, the Clichy-Batignolles ecodistrict is reconquering this forgotten piece of Parisian ground. This major municipal project was envisioned as a response to the elevated need for housing while paving the way for a durable, mixed-use 21st century city. So much data that had to be compiled to come up with smart solutions for a multi-program block (nursing home, social housing, private housing, religious center, and retail businesses).
The project consists in designing a dojo in Sonzay, Indre-et-Loire, France. Placed at the entrance of the village, it is the new equipment of a current sports complex.
With careful regards to the inside as well as to the outside, the orientation, openings and cladding of the facades are determined by the landscape, whereas the plan and the circulations are determined by the practice of the sport.
The construction of the Jaurès recreation center provided the city of Athis-Mons with an opportunity to equip itself with a facility for small children adapted to open learning methods and at the same time help to reduce the pressures of the towns growing population.
The zone is characterized by its geography, a very fragile alluvial plain between the Seine and the Orge, which was ideal for locating important railway infrastructure and urban development stretching lengthwise form the southwest to the northeast. This area is subject to a number of rights of way exposing it to important nuisances. Thus, the Jaurès school complex plays the strategic urban role of liaison with the rest of the neighborhood. The school complex stands in a residential area comprised of a number of period buildings of varying typologies. The urban challenges of the project were to create a pleasant entry opening onto the pedestrian area and the church of Notre-Dame de la Voie as well as to undertake an urban and architectural recomposition in which the recreation center plays the role of connecter between the different scales.
The “Courbes” project is part of the urban renewal program of the ZAC Charles de Gaulle in Colombes. The area is easily identified thanks to the eclectic architecture of the urban fabric, blending bungalows and apartment houses dating from the 1980s-90s. The tramway has finally reached this neighborhood, which has enabled the beginning of its genuine transformation owing to its highly prized proximity to the business district of La Défense.
Located across from the St-Etienne station on the Esplanade de France, the influence of the intervention at the heart of the ZAC Châteaucreux is a link between neighborhoods and horizon lines, a low point in the topography of St-Etienne in front of a preferred route to the city center. Combined with the scale of the project and the symbolic value of the program, this unique location gives the project a special status in the construction of the city.

The new offices of the Côte Ouest event agency are located in the former garage of the Bordeaux newspaper Sud Ouest. They are organized in several subspaces that we have linked by a large mesh generating various uses. This square mesh in wooden cleats incorporates storage, displays, decoration, plants and retractable workstations for occasional use.
The terraced hills above Tain l’Hermitage have been cultivated since Roman times and are reputed for some of the best wine along the Rhone Valley. Delas Frères were determined to renovate a historic, centrally located property, investing in their past, despite the challenges of wine harvesting in an urban context.
Using solid, structural stone, the new wine cellar and shop become walls framing a renovated manor house and its garden. The stone relates to the site, while the thermally inert, porous walls create ideal conditions for wine. Ramps within the winery allow visitors to discover the wine process within an efficient interior, and lead to views of the hills from a roof terrace, and down to the bottle cellar under the manor house. Sunlight enters the visitors’ gallery through a continuous skylight, the undulating wall serving as a light reflector for the tank and barrel halls, where direct light would be detrimental.
