olivier gautierOlivier established an office providing architectural services in Niort in 1996. Coming from a family of master craftsmen and having trained himself as a joiner his attitude towards design is always one of attention to detail. experienceDuring the past 11 years Olivier has built his practice to embrace an impressive list of clients including individual and corporate clients locally and nationally. His projects range from carefully designed and crafted Cathedral doors, one-off houses, offices and shops from Paris to Bordeaux and as far south as the Spanish border. detailHis hard work and attention to detail have led to a term appointment with France telecom in their union with Orange and he and his team are responsible for organising the fast track fit-out of new boutiques up and down the West of France. Another current project is a chateau near Bordeaux which is being renovated with new timber panelling throughout as well as the usual construction and structural issues which come with an old building. "In this setting we have worked with a landscape contractor to alter the flow of a river into the grounds to create a lake at the rear of the chateau – every project is different and each presents its own challenges which we enjoy tackling."
