The design process is supported by extensive experience in designing buildings with major functional constraints, particularly busy focal points within complex urban programmes such as intermodal transport hubs, amenities, and mixed programmes.

AREP’s architecture teams have tackled a wide variety of programmes and have always shared the same commitment to submit a project suited to the needs, lifestyles and quest for identity of contemporary society.

AREP’s Design division is composed of a multidisciplinary team who has developed a unique expertise in conceiving public-accessed spaces.

It comprises experts in designing furniture and public spaces or creating and implementing fixed and dynamic information systems, as well as interior architects, designers and graphic designers with a view to satisfying our clients’ needs.

In AREP Ville, we consider that city planning must take into account mobility considerations.
Whether on a large, regional scale or the smaller scale of public spaces, the area in question is considered in terms of strategic scenarios and development potential. Studies extend from programme planning to definition of urban form and creation of public spaces, and include land development, funding, and operating methods.

AREP Ville works closely with local authorities at the concept stage and schedules operations over time to ensure the area is organized sustainably. It focuses on improving mobility to promote pedestrian flow and green modes of transport.

The teams of engineers share with designers the project’s objectives and contribute to its development by combining their skills.

Their constant priorities are technical optimisation, sustainable development and economy of means.

The various engineering spheres are brought together in a common pool of skills and technical resources.

Placing our expertise in built heritage
at the heart of your environmental challenges

Our 900 architects, conservation architects, urban planners, designers, engineers, construction economists, programming consultants, and researchers develop methods aimed at restoring and conserving built heritage in the city and territories of tomorrow.
Through heritage we introduce innovations that help meet climate challenges, improve the living environment, keep historic buildings alive and vibrant, as well as safeguard historic centres by improving their energy performance and preserving natural resources.


From survey to strategy: a unique method tailored to complex and uncommon situations

The industrial and railway built heritage is exceptionally rich and AREP's complex and challenging projects contribute to protecting and highlighting it. Workshops, historic monuments, 19th and 20th-century giant superstructures have inspired unique restoration and rehabilitation methods bringing together science and engineering, history and culture.

AREP Group is present in many sectors through Parvis and Menighetti, thus mastering the process of programming which allows to best achieve the desired outcome for the urban or architectural project.

Programming studies take place at the same time as the spatial and functional organisation of the project and engage all of the stakeholders (users, operators, investors and decision-makers) in a process for decision-making uncovering constraints, needs and expectations. The process begins at the pre-design phase of the project and goes through all the steps until the delivery of the building to operators. All along, our experts assist their clients and listen to their needs at every stage.
