After exploring the terrain, we now focus on the destination to chart the best path.

This design phase draws on your ability to envision. Now is the time to sketch on paper what existed only in your mind. Here, technique and creativity interweave to form plans and drawings. We coordinate the various technical studies to ensure a robust, sustainable architectural design adapted to your needs before defining the aesthetic intention.

The plans and sketches we present embody a unique strategy designed for the benefit of the project.

Technical advisory – Architectural design – 2D and 3D plans – Construction management.

The feasibility phase is a preparatory stage full of the thrill of beginnings.

You've decided to bring that dream — perhaps a little wild — to life, and have entrusted us with the responsibility of handing you its future keys. Our role is to identify any structural, regulatory, or financial obstacles that might arise during execution.

After all your efforts, it’s time to feel that joy and satisfaction marking the end of this journey.

All that remains is to conduct the handover visits that trigger the various guarantees… and to celebrate this beautiful ascent with you.

Construction management can stir many emotions, even moments of doubt…

Our mission is to help you choose the right contractors, organize, coordinate, and supervise the work.

We leave nothing to chance during project oversight, ensuring deadlines and agreements are respected as defined in the contracts.

Leading the team, we’ll pull the rope as many times as necessary to remind you that the summit is near…

CALPIN ARCHITECTURE, an architecture studio in Sallanches for your projects: architectural design and construction management through to completion.

Solutions – CALPIN Architecture: architects and construction management in the Mont-Blanc region

SOLUTIONS

Alfonso is the vision of Calpin architecture. With him, nothing is left to chance. His field experience, structural creativity and strategic mindset allow him to approach projects with pragmatism and realism.

His architectural influences lead him to elevate structure, seeking a symbiosis between technical challenge and beauty. He aims to provoke strong emotions and enrich the experience of the living through his architectural proposals.

After more than ten years of experience, especially in refined alpine architecture, Alfonso founded Calpin Architecture in 2022 and expanded the team in 2024 to bring together his vision merging architecture and art.

Architect

Damien brings the artistic vision to your project. Raised in an environment where art meant experimentation, his influences today are organic, living, infused with pragmatism and efficiency. “Less is more”, a poetic concept made famous by Mies van der Rohe, could well be his motto.

Demanding and curious about others and the living world, everything becomes material for creation in his hands. A free creation, born from the gut and heart, then shaped with reflection and concept, where each element is essential, elegant and functional.

After over twenty years as an art director in Paris for brands such as Guerlain, Caroll and Dalloz, Damien now merges his experience in branding and spatial design to create interiors that resonate deeply with your needs.

Art direction and spatial design

like a sketchbook, free and unconstrained, where ideas take flight and take form, it embodies an architecture rooted in three essential pillars.

Maxence creates the 3D visuals for Calpin Architecture's projects. He sees architecture as a response to human needs, respectfully and harmoniously integrated into its environment. Inspired by Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, he sees it as a balance between materials, building methods and smooth spatial flow.

After working with companies such as Somfy and Bontaz as a CGI artist, he joined Calpin in 2024 to bring client dreams to life through visuals that make the project’s vision tangible.
