BoBo Paris is one of the very few architects’ practices in France that is registered in both France and the UK.

Our team is composed of UK and French registered architects, as well as directors who are registered in both countries. Our practice is an RIBA Chartered Practice in the UK, and registered with the Île-de-France (Paris) Ordre des Architectes.

There are many architectural practices in France who employ associates and staff with a good grasp of the English language, or even occasionally employ native speakers.

It is much more rare, by virtue of the practice’s culture, experience, and educational background of its directors, to find a truly 'Anglosphere' architectural practice in France. BoBo is, in this sense, different from all other architectural practices in the country.

Why should this be relevant?

It could be thought that it is only the language barrier that might be an issue for individuals or companies who wish to undertake building works in France.

However, clients find it particularly useful to be able to discuss their projects and the issues that their brief raises with an architect who not only understands the process and context of operating in France, but who is also able to relate to the equivalent systems and processes in the UK and other Anglophone countries, thus assisting in avoiding misunderstandings and miscommunications that can occur not only due to the language barrier, but also the cultural gap between administrative and legal processes in the Anglosphere and the French Republic.
