It also coordinates control bodies such as control offices, technical design offices or public administrative services.

Identity

Creating a brand identity, an architectural identity or symbolizing a user experience allows you to stand out, make a will unique (be uniquely desirable) and make a difference. The customers’ identity highlights the wealth of expertise that transcends each project. LUCA strives to create new identities for its clients, or to respect existing identities, to bring them to life and evolve through concepts and achievements.

EXECUTION

Corporate Image
Budget
Planning

Corporate Image, Budget, and Planning are the 3 areas of a project entrusted to an “Assistant to the Contracting Authority”. LUCA anticipates them and builds them according to their contexts and needs. LUCA's role is to ensure that these three critical areas are respected in the project’s interest, from the first phases until delivery, and including concept creation and deployment.

CREATION

By capitalizing on its previous missions and history as a concept creation and deployment company, LUCA creates an experience through its collaborations and productions. The LUCA community is willing to share its energy, enthusiasm, values, and commitments in its exchanges and achievements. LUCA makes a point toconsiders it an honor to create an active and honest association with its employees, customers and ecosystem. LUCA is specialized in architectural design and creation for Retail, Hotels, Tertiary, Catering and Sports Events.

Scenography
Visual Merchandising

LUCA creates staging spaces to provide a theatrical exposure for a product, an experience, or a customer path. LUCA’s retail expertise enables it to assist its customers in the setting up and visual organization of their sales areas or cultural spaces. Considerations of scenography, merchandising, and visual merchandising are essential to LUCA’s Architecture and Design projects.

Resources

Essential for an efficient completion of a project, LUCA has created a network of like-minded professionals. We are Architects, Interior Architects, Space Designers, Visual Merchandisers and Engineers. LUCA uses and adapts to all the material means of its ecosystem, such as drawing, graphic design and modeling software (AutoCAD, Adobe Suite, SketchUp, Vray, etc...). LUCA applies an elitist method of recruitment, in conjunction with a management style that emphasizes benevolence and excelling oneself.

Architecture

Volumetry, lighting, color, furniture or materials are all subjects that the team interprets and uses according to its needs. LUCA responds to aesthetic, technical and environmental issues such as: interior space rehabilitation, design of living spaces, composition of an exhibition, or enhancement of a customer experience. Every project benefits from a 360° vision of their know-how in Architecture and Design.

Deployment

As a Retail, Tertiary and Hotel codes specialist, LUCA adapts its concepts to locations, budgets and schedules. We transition theoretical knowledge into practical expertise in a multitude of cases. The deployment of Architecture and Design projects requires extensive know-how as well as a strong coordination of several simultaneous subjects and a situational expertise. LUCA adapts to each case while respecting the established concept.

Outsource

Thanks to a relationship of trust, LUCA’s partners outsource complete or partial responsibilities for the delivery of their projects. LUCA also takes responsibility for the image, budget and planning of its clients' projects while ensuring their coordination and regular reporting, as an architecture and design agency would.

Production

LUCA produces all the 2D and 3D drawings required to create a project. LUCA professionals technically adapt to bring you with the required elements on different oftware’s such as AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Revit BIM, and any others as per the requirement. The team works on each phase of the study, from the sketches to the consultation file, including preliminary design, final design and drafting of specifications or guidelines. This principle applies to different scales: from spatial detailing to furniture details, as well as administrative follow-up.

DELIVERY

LUCA’s challenge is to ensure the success of a project and to deliver it according to a concept, a budget, and a schedule. This step is administratively and logistically prepared by the team which convenes the project's players and organizes the total or partial validation of their work in order to transmit it over to the client. This kind of delivery applies in all of LUCA's areas of expertise: Retail, Hotels, Tertiary, Events and Catering.

THE LUCAS

At LUCA, we are convinced of one thing :

« A life without emotion is a lost life ».

The search for human emotions is our driving force for collective creativity. It enables us to harmonize new consumption patterns with a company’s strategy, products and services.
We therefore believe that both user experience, and human beings must have a central and strategic place in the spaces we create.

For us, combining combining User Experience, Design and Architecture, means putting people at the center of our value chain.
Between the management of our collaborators, the relationship with our customers, and the accomplishment of our projects, LUCA is stamped with a true mark of quality.
Beyond design, our ambition is to be able to act without limits with our partners in order to support them in the management of their projects.

Our playing field is unlimited , , allowing us to create multidisciplinary project teams , who are able to respond to any and all issues..
We love challenges : : we see every difficulty as an opportunity to take up a challenge to take up a challenge to take up a challenge that allows us to achieve our goals.
