Agencé

Agencé is the past participle of the French verb agencer and, when used as an adjective, describes something that has been arranged, organized, or laid out in a deliberate way. It is commonly used to characterize spaces—such as rooms, offices, or storefronts—where the arrangement of furniture, fixtures, and passages supports function and flow.

In usage, agencé functions as a participial adjective or as a past participle with the auxiliary avoir. When used with avoir, the participle may agree with a preceding direct object: les meubles que j'ai agencés. As a predicate adjective, it agrees with the subject: le bâtiment est agencé; la cuisine est agencée.

The meaning is close to “arranged,” “well laid out,” or “well organized.” It is often used in architecture, interior design, retail, and real estate to describe effectively planned spaces. It can contrast with aménagé, which emphasizes making or modifying space to meet needs, rather than the arrangement of existing elements.

Typical expressions include bien agencé (well arranged), espace agencé (well laid-out space), and agencement (the act or result of arranging). See also agencer, aménager, and agencement.

Translations: agencé translates as arranged or well arranged; agencement as the arrangement or layout; in English, phrases such as “well laid out,” “well organized,” or “designed layout.”
