North by Northwest Architectes (NXNW)

Founded in 2006 by Christine Desert and Richard F. Thomas, North By Northwest Architectes (NXNW) is a Paris-based architectural and urban planning firm committed to sustainable and context-sensitive design. Our multidisciplinary team engages in a wide range of projects, from residential and public buildings to urban redevelopment, always emphasizing environmental responsibility and social impact. We adopt a transversal and collaborative approach, integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) to enhance design precision and project coordination. Our methodology ensures that each project is tailored to its specific context, incorporating innovative solutions that align with ecological and societal goals. Notably, NXNW has pioneered the use of hempcrete (béton de chanvre) in urban architecture, demonstrating its viability in dense settings. Projects such as the thermal renovation of a heritage building on Rue du Couëdic and the construction of social housing on Rue Myrha and Rue de Bellevue in Boulogne-Billancourt showcase our commitment to bio-based materials and sustainable construction practices.
