The project is based on regulations that require the volumetry to be maintained and divides the 38.00 m long building into five sections. The three-storey building with access via the mezzanine is well suited for the creation of five duplex lofts on the ground and second floors and five studios on the lower first floor. Large vertical windows, whose size and proportions […]

The project is characterized on the surface by the discreet emergences represented by the portal as well as the roofing of its access/exit funnel and the superstructure of the elevator that provides access to the level of the castle square. Another notable option compared to other projects of this type is the roof slab, which has been developed with a strong inclination to […]

The new building takes possession of the slope, along which two volumes extend, connected to each other in the basement to provide the necessary access and connections. These volumes are reduced to two levels so that the volumes of the Rhodanie Campus dominate while providing easy access to the large roof terraces. The façade, which consists of a checkerboard pattern of […]

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 […]

In the architectural design, care was taken to create homes that are reminiscent of traditional and village features, with pitched roofs, tiled roofing and green shutters. The party is distinguished by a more contemporary touch, expressed through sliding shutters, reduced eaves and vertical openings on the gable facades. The building was constructed using traditional […]

The review of the project to bring it in line with the legal requirements and the program revealed that the constraints were quite severe, so negotiations were held with the authorities to ease certain aspects without violating the spirit of the district plan. These efforts were successful and made it possible to modify the original provisions, which provided for a certain […]

The building is a deep, north-south oriented volume and fits into the permitted clearance profiles in an optimized way by developing an efficient distribution concept that consumes little floor space on the one hand, and offering multi-oriented apartments connected to a spacious, open and communal first floor that stands on stilts on the other. The large depth - approx. 17 […]

The project includes an underground platform that forms a common parking deck for all the adjacent buildings and villas. The development complies with the requirements of the neighbourhood plan and the chosen volumetry helps to minimize the impact of the buildings, which present themselves as a coherent whole with balanced development and non-development, while […]

The landscaping is an intrinsic part of the architectural design. The planners wanted to guarantee each resident a private area that is also open to the wooded hill. By creating eleven levels at different levels, the views of each individual could be shifted. There is never one opposite, but rather intersecting views between the different buildings. The sloping site is […]

The site is characterized by the fact that it consists mainly of very hard molasse. As a result, almost the entire site, covering an area of 1,149 square meters, had to be excavated to a depth of 12 meters. This was a complex and lengthy step, as the proximity to the CHUV meant that vibrations had to be avoided. To prevent the molasse from cracking in some places and […]
