About
Making space with sense of place
Lieux is a Los Angeles-based design studio founded by French architect Bryan Chastang.
The work at Lieux (pronounced lee-yeuh) is characterized by a rigorous and analytical foundational approach - grounded in research, in-depth exploration of the site and context, and robust planning with a focus on functionality and longevity. The holistic process is rooted in meaningful and intentional dialogue with clients, leading to one-of-a-kind projects that naturally belong to their people and their places.
Lieux exists to create enduring spaces that are practical, beautiful, and inspiring for their inhabitants. In other words, creating spaces (lieux) that feel like home.
Bryan has twenty years of experience designing and building high-end homes in Provence and Southern California.
A thoughtful, methodical, and passionate designer, he is committed to accompanying his clients through all stages of the design and construction process, so that they feel supported, empowered, and knowledgeable every step of the way.
Born in Paris and raised in Provence, Bryan has called Los Angeles home for a nearly a decade. He has a sizable collection of architecture books and believes that design problems are best solved with a pen and paper. He lives in Highland Park with his wife and children, as well as their two dogs Pax & Mila.
