Axel Schoenert Architects Agency

Axel Schoenert founded the Franco-German agency Axel Schoenert architects with Zsofia Varnagy, interior designer, in 1999, in Paris.

With a multicultural team, the agency develops its activities both in France and internationally, specializing in architecture, interior architecture, and design.

Its primary objective is to foster an eclectic vision of its work, emphasizing the diversity of its projects and building expertise in both new constructions and complex renovations. The agency is recognized and awarded for its achievements in the hotel sector, its innovative office projects marked by high performance and iconic design, and also for its coworking space projects.

Deliberately detached from any specific style, effects, or trends, each project is treated as a new page to be written. The starting point of this work is the place itself—its history, its culture. This foundation defines the heart of the project, where interior architecture and design play as crucial a role as the architecture itself, coexisting in perfect harmony. The agency’s 37 team members share a culture that combines design with construction expertise.

In alignment with future bioclimatic urban planning and fully aware of new sustainable development challenges, the agency is committed to proposing innovative and suitable urban architectural solutions, whether for rehabilitating or repurposing existing buildings or for new construction.
The agency prioritizes reversible structures, responsible site management, achieving the most demanding environmental certifications and labels, creating accessible green outdoor spaces, and choosing low-carbon solutions to design, renovate, and construct the city of tomorrow.

Through its projects, the agency has positioned itself at the forefront of urban renewal. Notable recent projects include the complex restructuring and new timber construction of the former RTL headquarters at 22 rue Bayard, which won awards at both the SIATI and the 2022 Construction Trophies in the tertiary building category, also receiving a "Best Responsible Project" mention. Other projects include the UFO building housing Leboncoin Group offices in the heart of Sentier, the 102 Charonne project—a 15,000-square-meter complex with an ambitious landscaping program to bring nature into Paris’s 11th arrondissement; five WeWork spaces in Paris, including Europe’s largest (20,000 square meters) on Avenue de France; and the Canvas project, a next-generation student residence with 645 beds. Leveraging its expertise in hospitality, the agency delivered France’s first hotel for the German brand 25hours, opposite Gare du Nord in Paris, as well as the first two hotels for the MEININGER group in France. It also designed the concept and interior architecture for the 4-star hotel at Tour Pleyel and its conference center, which opened in summer 2024.
