Archetype Group

At archetype _y, we design luxury not as something added, but as something felt.

archetype _y is our integrated architecture signature studio, a special unit embedded within Archetype Group. We bring visions to life, transforming dreams and inspiration into bespoke places that help shape a sustainable tomorrow.

Inspired by the quiet rhythms of the Maldives, this hospitality concept draws its architectural language from water, sand, coral, and local craftsmanship.

Organic forms, tactile materials, and references to Maldivian vernacular architecture are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, shaping a spatial journey rooted in connection, serenity, and immersion. Each curve frames a new perspective, while every texture deepens the relationship between the architecture and its natural setting.

Rather than standing apart from the island, the design becomes part of its rhythm, expressing luxury through light, movement, and a genuine sense of place.

We believe meaningful architecture is a journey of imagination and discovery. It is about form and function, but also about weaving context and emotion, nature and craftsmanship, into places that feel distinctive, purposeful, and enduring.

Another milestone for Archetype Indonesia on a 5-star resort development in Ubud, Bali.

Recently, together with the Client and Operator, our team conducted the Mock-Up Room review, marking an important step toward bringing this hospitality destination to life.

As Sebastien Thierry, Project Director at Archetype Indonesia, shared after the review:

"We are delighted with the positive feedback received. The mock-up rooms successfully demonstrate the quality standards, design intent, and guest experience envisioned for the project."

Nestled within a natural riverside setting, the resort features 43 exclusive villas designed to immerse guests in Bali's landscape while respecting the surrounding environment.

Providing Project Management, Design Management & Coordination, and Construction Management services, Archetype Indonesia works closely with all project stakeholders to ensure the project is delivered in line with its design vision, quality standards, and construction objectives.

This achievement reflects the strong collaboration and commitment from everyone involved to deliver the project on time, on quality, and safely. We look forward to the next phases as this outstanding hospitality destination moves one step closer to completion.

Today July 14th on France’s National Day, we celebrate the spirit that has inspired Archetype Group since the very beginning in 2002.

Founded by two French entrepreneurs, Pierre-Jean Malgouyres, our CEO, and François Magnier, our Chairman, Archetype Group was built on values deeply rooted in French culture: entrepreneurship, technical excellence, innovation, and a commitment to creating lasting value.

What began as a shared vision has grown into an international construction consultancy with more than 1,000 professionals who delivered 1,500 projects across 50 countries.

While our projects span continents, our French heritage continues to shape who we are. We combine international expertise with local knowledge, cultivate long-term partnerships, and approach every challenge with curiosity, precision, and ambition.

On this Bastille Day, we celebrate not only our French roots, but also the diversity, collaboration, and shared ambition that define Archetype Group today.

Bonne fête nationale!

International growth starts with strong partnerships and trusted ecosystems.

This past week, Pierre-Jean Malgouyres, our Co-founder & CEO, participated in two major French business forums dedicated to international growth.

✔️ On June 29th the Southeast Asia Forum, organized by Les Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur (CCE): Southeast Asia is becoming one of the most exciting growth stories for French businesses abroad, and that's exactly what we dug into at this year's Forum.

Cambodia. Indonesia. Malaysia. Singapore. Thailand. Vietnam. Six markets, one shared momentum.

Pierre-Jean Malgouryes, an appointed Foreign Trade Advisor (CCE), took the stage alongside other stakeholders to talk straight about where the real opportunities are, and how French companies can seize them.

✔️ A few days later, Pierre-Jean joined the Université d'Été de l'Internationalisation des Entreprises (UEIE), the leading annual event in France dedicated to international trade.

What actually makes a company win internationally? That was the question on the table this year, with Nicolas Forissier, French Minister Delegate for Foreign Trade and Attractiveness, joining as guest of honour.

Pierre-Jean took part in the workshop "How can French ecosystems abroad reach their full potential?" alongside Olivier Cadic, Senator for French nationals abroad, in a session moderated by Pedro Novo, CEO of Axian Properties.

For Archetype Group, forums like these are exactly where we like to be: sharing insights, exchanging real-world experience, and championing French expertise on the global stage.

Archetype Group has always maintained a close relationship with the French Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CCI), acting as an active member in every country where we operate.
