FdMP Architectes is an architecture practice based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 2014 by Oscar Frisk, François de Marignac, and Christophe Pidoux, the firm grew out of a wish to create narratives around local architecture.

After 14 years spent as founders and partners of group8 developing landmark housing and public buildings for Geneva’s international organizations, such as ICRC’s Humanitarium, ICRC’s logistics hall, WTO’s William Rappard Center, and the Palexpo Congress Center, the three partners founded FdMP Architectes.

Urban planning, mixed-use buildings, cultural venues, housing, and individual houses fall within FdMP’s scope of practice as far as human and local can be. The firm prides itself in valuing the architectural process as much as its outputs, sharing and experimenting with ideas collaboratively. With a deep understanding of the dialectics between city and countryside, FdMP Architectes develops new ways to inhabit and vitalize the Lemanic region of Switzerland.
