BoBo is an English and French speaking architects' practice with studios in Montmartre, Paris and Totnes, Devon. BoBo is one of the very few architectural practices that is registered in both France and the UK. There are many architectural practices in France who employ associates and staff with a good grasp of the English language, or even occasionally employ native speakers.
It is much more rare, by virtue of the practice's culture, experience, and educational background of its associates, to find a truly 'Anglosphere' architectural practice in France. BoBo is, in this sense, different from all other architectural practices in the country. Why should this be relevant? It could be thought that it is only the language barrier that might be an issue for individuals or companies who wish to undertake building works in France.
