A strong circular and social vision
A strong circular & social vision
Sophie Valla Architects is driven by a strong circular and social vision. The team, led by architect Sophie Valla, approaches each project with a commitment to sustainability, reusing and renovating existing structures wherever possible, and favoring bio-based and recycled materials. Their work integrates natural systems—such as water cycles, biodiversity, and energy flows—into the design process from the very start.

Our pillars

The Commons
Space for all – creating spaces for communities, contributing to the liveness of the neighborhood, promoting a vibrant and inclusive metropolitan development. Quality of collective spaces as well as the intimate sphere, is a priority for our clients Housing is not just a private matter but also a public issue. It requires a broader vision where social ties are respected and even encouraged.
Tailormade Design
Every project starts with context. We craft architecture that responds precisely to the physical site, the community it serves, and the ambitions of our clients. Our tailor-made approach leads to highly diverse types of apartments in our projects (U-shaped, L-shaped houses, etc.), as well as in building typology (stepped terraces, patios, etc.). Our designs are tailored to meet the unique needs and demands of housing cooperatives, real estate developers, cultural institutions, and housing corporations.

Circularity strategies
We implement circular strategies — selecting, reusing, and integrating materials and systems that extend the life of buildings and reduce their impact on energy use and new material production.
Rethinking everyday life practices with inhabitants is the first step toward a viable future environment.
Whether it’s reimagining social housing, transforming public space, or designing climate-resilient neighborhoods, SVA works closely with a multidisciplinary network of ecologists, landscape designers, and energy experts to ensure projects are both visionary and viable.
SVA has built knowledge and experience with mid-rise wooden construction.
Economy of materials and energy.
