Dank Architectes is an architectural office based in Lyon, founded in 2010 by Thibaut Chanut, Gilles Dietrich and Steven Guigoz.
The activity of the studio is divided today between the private order, mainly focused on the realization of individual houses (planning, renovation, extension, new construction) and the public order, in the form of partnerships with various architectural agencies and design offices on larger projects (school, tertiary …).
