The building was erected in an excavation pit made of Berlin walls and is partially in groundwater, which was lowered locally during the construction period. The reinforced concrete structure rests on a common floor slab, while the floor slabs are supported by a classic load-bearing structure with intermediate columns made of reinforced concrete. The roof consists of a […]

The building is an open school in the middle of the parks of the Les Nations neighbourhood. Spread over five floors and a basement, it has a relatively small footprint complemented by a great transparency that helps to preserve the remarkable character of the site. The building clearly demonstrates its educational function while at the same time echoing the urban features […]

The building is organised around a single entrance leading to Chemin Louis-Hubert. A "double comb" geometry increases the surface area of the façades to maximise natural light inside the building. This solution, which is satisfactory for both the client and the architect, also prevents the neighbouring buildings from being directly confronted with the new building. With a […]

The original purpose of the building was to facilitate mixed activities, which required a point-holder structure that makes it easier for users to organise the space as they wish. The building consists of three structures, a head building with four ground floors facing south towards the Avenue des Grandes-Communes and two parallel wings with three ground floors facing […]

The aim of this subsidiary of Nemaco BV, a Dutch property developer specialising in the development of commercial and administrative buildings, is to construct a multifunctional centre with an area of 48,000 m 2 , which will ultimately consist of ten two-storey buildings with a ground floor, offering excellent image quality and designed as flexible operating facilities […]

Designed in 1957 by architects Ernest Martin and Louis Payot, the complex offers accommodation as well as a variety of activities that encourage socialising (sports, culture, restaurants, shops, etc.). The seven-storey, 80-metre-long new building houses flats (for individuals, couples and families) grouped around a long atrium that runs through the building from bottom to […]

The Centror factory and the Ritschard SA building are the result of one and the same spirit and resemble each other like two brothers: two parallel rectangles (over fifty meters long, less than twenty meters wide), an equal level on the edge of the roof, an R+2 construction with a flat roof and a common basement that connects the buildings. In each of the buildings, the […]

Versoix can be reached via the "Route Suisse", via two SBB stations or with the CGN boats from the Swiss and French coastal towns. The Geneva public transport company also operates 11 bus stops in the town. The municipality of 13,000 inhabitants is located 10 km from the centre of Geneva and its international airport and has an environment that still consists mainly of […]

Eighteen buildings, tens of thousands of square metres for residential purposes, three and a half thousand planned residents, shops and a large public park: the new La Chapelle district is a major urban planning challenge in the canton of Geneva. Over a length of almost two hundred and fifty metres and a width of around twenty metres, the esplanade crosses the (future) […]

The building, which is intended to accommodate a maximum of 40 people, meets the needs of its specific use in a clear and rational way. The building is single-storey and consists of two blocks with flat roofs. To the east, a simple parallelepiped is connected by an airlock to another L-shaped volume. This houses the only entrance to the complex on the west side. All rooms […]
