SUD is a group of 100 people working on issues related to urbanisation, housing, shopping centres, public equipment and commercial property. Over the last 25 years, the group has grown to become a major stakeholder in France and abroad thanks to its competences, its visions and its architectural approach which have enabled it to build emblematic landmarks such as the Manufaktura business and leisure centre (Poland), the Résidence des Pins (residency of the French Ambassador in Lebanon), the Ministry of Interior Cosse (Angola), ... The strength of SUD is to propose innovative, context-sensitive and sustainable projects resulting from all its internal expertise, with a desire to combine the views and talents of each contributor. At the heart of its concerns are also the culture of the "other", the lifestyle and the in-situ designof projects which enable the group to carry on refreshing its perception in order to optimise the future places tolive.
