Sweetch Architects
Sweetch Architects is an innovative and transformative architect practice dedicated to assisting English speaking clients achieve their life changing dreams in France. Our main office is based in South-West France but we have skilled teams throughout France.
We bring our English and French cultures together with our knowledge and experience of French building regulations and project procedures, to help you realise your project in the picturesque landscapes of France. Maybe you have found your French dream property and already imagine your new life in France, but:
Your skills in French are insufficient, which has stopped you from progressing further on your project.
You are unaware of the French project procedures and building regulations, which has stopped you from starting your construction or renovation project.
- You do not know the costs in order to build your new home or improve your living space in France.
- You do not live in France yet and the long-distance creates difficulties in realising your architectural project.
- You do not have the time available to embark on the construction or the improvement of your property in France alone.
- You do not know the right architect contacts in France to explore the feasibility of the project.
- Do you recognise yourself in these statements?
Many English speaking families and clients wishing to settle and/or invest in property in France have been slowed down with their project because of these issues. However, by working with our bi-lingual French-registered architects who will support you and give you the French-English expertise you need, you can realise your dream home and new life more quickly.
You will benefit from real help and assistance for your first steps in France in addition to Sweetch’s architectural support services and simplified project procedures.
From your dream of purchasing a property and of your expatriation in France, with all the stress and doubts this can bring due to the language barrier and lack of knowledge to a smooth transfer to France and an easy move to the house of your dreams. You will be guided step by step, in English, for the whole process of your project, and be relieved of any stress brought by French project procedures and the negotiations with different stakeholders.
Our comprehensive architectural service, together with our consultants and partners will assist you for renovations, new builds, barn conversions, extension and demolition projects, works on heritage buildings and also commercial projects.
We will help you with every type of French planning application, with project management, for project any size, anywhere in France.
Our founder, Anne-Sophie Donèche, is a French architect. She developed Sweetch Architects bridging the gap between France and the UK. She is an architect with both the knowledge of construction in France and in the UK, as well as an understanding of the needs of British clients.
