Introducing our team of architects and our vision in Ouistreham

Our expertise

The agency was founded in 2022, in Paris, from the partnership between Justine Buisson and Clément Nouvel. Having met during their studies at the Paris-Val-de-Seine architecture school, they first developed their skills separately for ten years before joining forces. The complementarity of their backgrounds and interests now allows them to offer innovative and personalized architectural solutions, whether you are a private individual, a professional, or a local authority. In 2023, Nota Bene Architecte & Associé settled in Ouistreham, in the heart of the Normandy region.

Renovation, new construction, extension... whether it's an individual house, a professional premises, or public facilities, our team of architects, who are curious and enthusiastic, takes on every new challenge.

For us, there is no "small project." Every scale is treated with the same care, the same sensitivity, and the same attention to detail. We support you at every stage: design, administrative procedures (work declarations, urban planning authorizations), and site supervision. Even with a vague idea, we are here to guide and advise you.

Our philosophy

Sensitive since our student years to the question of the architectural identity of a territory, the history of a place, and its occupants, we seek to design harmonious spaces that are rooted in their geography. We are committed to contextual reality and work on our architecture with fine attention to the interstices, respect for the existing, and the enhancement of the immediate environment. Behind every project, we try to highlight a place, a reinterpretation of its historical, social, and architectural reality.

We also attach great importance to the quality and durability of our projects. We favor the use of local and sustainable materials and collaborate closely with regional craftspeople to guarantee a result that is both aesthetic and functional, at a controlled cost. Our goal is to create living spaces that enhance their environment and meet your needs and aspirations, always respecting your budget. We strongly believe that everyone should have access to quality architecture, which is why we strive to democratize architecture by offering accessible solutions.

Justine Buisson

HMONP Architect

After graduating from architecture school in 2016, I gained experience working alongside seasoned architects. Notably, I worked for 7 years as an architect at the Valero Gadan Architectes & Associés agency, in the heart of Paris. There, I was able to experience all project scales and all phases of realization, on projects including housing, offices, and public facilities, mainly in the Paris region.

Based on this experience, I bring a view to each project that is both sensitive and technical. This also allows me to easily adapt to every program to propose spatial planning solutions that are as close as possible to my clients' needs.

Clément Nouvel

D.E. Architect, 3D Graphic Designer

Driven by the entrepreneurial spirit since the beginning of my career, immediately after graduating from architecture school, I created a company for producing 3D animation images and videos intended for the building sector. By combining my architectural skills and my expertise in 3D modeling, I have developed effective tools and decision-making support for my clients.

These 10 years of experience have allowed me to explore architecture and communication in many forms, making me a multi-skilled professional, both in the design of custom architectural spaces and in the creation of realistic images.
