Valentin Bernard - France
LA SODA - France


Valentin Bernard worked in London for Foster + Partners. Back in Paris, he entered Jean Nouvel Studio. Then, he created his own structure in 2010 and designed several houses in Paris region and Gironde.

LA SODA is a French Architecture Studio based in Paris and created by Valentin Bernard and Hélène Latour in 2015.

They met in Versailles National Architecture School, where they both graduated with honours in 2006 and 2007. After their diploma, while developing their individual career paths, they continued to collaborate, taking part in several competitions for ideas.

They met again in 2015 and decided to create LA SODA, aspiring to conceive generous spaces and researching their specific architectural expression. Their interest in structural systems, their wish to reveal the essence of the materials, and their attention to details, are the very heart of their established conception process.

LA SODA works currently on different programs like collective housing, cinemas, or schools. Experience and reactivity enable them to respond professionally to the highest requirements of public and private project owners.

LA SODA was nominated for several prizes and awards.
