DREAM (for Dimitri Roussel Ensemble Architecture Métropole)
DREAM is an architectural firm that was founded in 2018 by Dimitri Roussel. He is surrounded by around thirty collaborators with an international profile, with whom he shares a deeply humanistic creative vision. Their complementarity makes it possible to cover a wide field of skills, from urbanism to construction details.
DREAM places human spirit at the heart of its projects.
Creating spaces adapted to current ways of living and working, promoting well-being and meeting people, are major research challenges for the agency. DREAM develops projects of various types and scales — housing, offices, sports facilities, ephemeral architecture — and has strong expertise in programmatic diversity (Joia Meridia in Nice, ESAT of Villejuif).
DREAM places sharing at the heart of its projects.
By imagining architecture that helps people live together and benefits as many people as possible (Arbre Blanc, Pôle d'échange multimodal and offices in Nantes), the agency strives to provide appropriate responses to each local social issue through adapted solutions, from establishing sporting facilities that foster sharing, diversity, and dialog (Joia Meridia, Porte Pouchet), to imagining transitional urban planning projects in order to find scalable, long-lasting solutions in evolving urban contexts (Place Mazas).
DREAM places ecology at the heart of its projects.
Each project developed by DREAM has strong environmental ambitions, favoring bioclimatic, low-carbon design combined with passive energy performance. An approach that the agency shares with each of its partners.
DREAM, specialist in timber construction
Through its expertise and its values, DREAM is today one of the specialist timber construction agencies in France. In 2018, it designed one of the first buildings in Bordeaux to be awarded the low-carbon building label (Perspective). It recently delivered the 125,000 m² Arboretum in Nanterre, Europe's largest wood-frame campus, and built an office building with sports facilities for the Athletes' Village of the Paris 2024 Games (Lot E3).

DREAM est une agence d’architecture fondée en 2018 par Dimitri Roussel. Il est entouré d'une trentaine de collaborateurs, au profil international, avec lesquels il partage une vision créative nourrie d’humanisme. Leur complémentarité permet de couvrir un large champ de compétences, de l’urbanisme aux détails de construction.
DREAM met au cœur de ses projets l’humain.
Créer des espaces adaptés aux modes de vie et de travail actuels, favorisant le bien être et la rencontre, sont des enjeux majeurs de recherche de l’agence. DREAM développe des projets de typologie et d’échelle variées — logements, bureaux, équipements sportifs, architecture éphémère — et possède une forte expertise en mixité programmatique (Joia Meridia à Nice, ESAT de Villejuif).
DREAM met au cœur de ses projets le commun.
En imaginant une architecture au service du vivre ensemble et au bénéfice du plus grand nombre (Arbre blanc, Pôle d’échange multimodal et bureaux à Nantes), l'agence tente de répondre à chaque problématique sociale locale par des réponses adaptées, allant de l’implantation d’infrastructures sportives pour favoriser l’échange, la mixité et le dialogue (Joia Meridia, Porte Pouchet), à la conception de projets d’urbanisme transitoire, pour trouver des solutions évolutives et pérennes dans un contexte urbain en constant changement (Place Mazas).
DREAM met au cœur de ses projets l’écologie.
Chaque projet développé par DREAM porte de fortes ambitions environnementales, privilégiant une conception bioclimatique et bas carbone associée à des performances énergétiques passives. Une démarche que l’agence partage avec chacun de ses partenaires.
DREAM, spécialiste de la construction bois
Par son expertise et ses valeurs, DREAM est aujourd’hui l'une des agences spécialistes de la construction bois en France. Elle a conçu en 2018 à Bordeaux l’un des premiers bâtiments à être labellisé bâtiment bas carbone (Immeuble Perspective). Elle a récemment livré à Nanterre le clos couvert du plus grand campus en structure bois d’Europe d’une surface de 125 000 m² (Arboretum) et a construit pour le Village des athlètes des Jeux de Paris 2024, un bâtiment de bureaux avec équipement sportif (Lot E3).
