Les Résidences du Bois, Vers-Chez-Les-Blancs VD
Short description
In the municipality of Lausanne, in Vers-chez-les-Blanc, the Route de Marin meets the Route de la Claie-aux-Moines in the direction of Savigny. The location is pleasant and privileged for those who like to live in the countryside but still want to be close to the city. The area, which stretches from the north of Epalinge to Chalet-à-Gobet and Vers-chez-les-Blanc, has undergone remarkable expansion in recent years. Les Résidences du Bois" have settled in this rural setting. The ensemble of three buildings benefits from quiet woodland to the rear and a soundproof hill separates them from the noise of the cantonal road.
The project
The traditional construction method uses a load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete and masonry topped by a timber frame, with pitched roofs and terracotta roof tiles. The external envelope consists of render on 18 cm thick polystyrene external insulation and PVC joinery with double glazing. The external elevator shafts are detached from the building and surrounded by the wooden staircases. Terraces, balconies and carports are also made of wood to create an architecture that is resolutely adapted to the forest site. The Résidences du Bois have been remarkably thought out so that each apartment benefits from maximum sunlight and offers the residents of the site a particularly attractive cachet.a
