Atelier Messaoudi Architectes was created by architect Lounès Messaoudi who graduated from Paris Villemin School of Architecture in 1994. He collaborated in several Parisian architecture firms. In 2008, Lounès Messaoudi created a new architecture studio in Algeria. In 2012 and 2021, he won the National Architecture Prize for his project “In vitro fertilization clinic in Algiers” which was also nominated in 2013 for the international Aga Khan Prize in Switzerland, and for the “Tirsatine Residence”, respectively.

Always looking for innovative and adaptable architectural solutions to answer today’s challenging reality and to achieve users’ needs in the local context, we think that architecture should never be reduced to a form or an object intended to flatter the ego of its author or owner. On the other hand, it should be a unique answer adapted to its context, resulting from a serious and demanding approach that starts from initial sketches to the project delivery.
