LIPSKY+ROLLET ARCHITECTS
The firm is founded by Florence Lipsky and Pascal Rollet.
Lipsky + Rollet creates a sustainable architecture based on ecologically responsible building processes and the view that cities are ecosystems in and of themselves. The office develops research programs in the field of ecological construction and architectural design as well as urban planning of human settlements. L+R designs and produces passive buildings using both updated ancestral materials, ancient know-hows and cutting-edge active systems. L+R architecture takes a purely pragmatic approach, setting aside any preconceived notions to offer a smart combination of low tech and high tech. Their approach to housing and university campuses is rooted in the notion of a living “milieu” developed by the French school of ethno-geography.
L+R designs buildings which they call “tool buildings”, dedicated to education and research, cultural and industrial projects of significant cultural and economical impact. L+R approach to architecture is based on R&D, and integrates experimentation as a design tool. The experiments, conducted within this R&D methodology, use construction materials and innovative building systems to realise spatial configurations that aim to reduce the building’s energy footprint and optimize all performance as well as its level of comfort. “Erevna” has been created in 2019 as a research laboratory focusing on the topic of Reuse in architecture.
In 2017, LR has participed in the Timber Construction High Rise national competition in Paris Rive Gauche.
In 2019, L+R was part of the design challenge for the Paris 2024 Olympic Game Athletes’ Village.
In 2022, the office is selected as an incubator laboratory part of the call for expression of interest "Committed to the quality of the housing of tomorrow». French Ministry of culture and housing.
Lipsky + Rollet architects’ work has been awarded several French prizes such as the 2005 Équerre d’Argent (Silver Square) for the best building of the year, or nominations in international competitions such as Benedictus Award 2005 or World Architectural Festival 2008 in Barcelona.
