Over the last 15 years, the progressive development of this district has made it a lively and animated place where the architectural past with an industrial vocation coexists with resolutely contemporary architecture. The "Pépinières" project thus completes a phase of transformation of the district within the framework set by the PPA (plan partiel d'affectation) of the […]

The two buildings rise four storeys above the first floor on a shared parking lot in the basement, with duplex apartments being created in some configurations. On the street side, balcony loggias in bay windows were preferred. They nestle against the façade like additional boxes and their large glass windows can be opened or closed completely, so that you can either enjoy […]

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 particular footprint of the building (36 m x 25 m) was optimized by creating a single vertical distribution in the middle of the building in order to minimize the corridors and make these spaces available to the apartments. The apartments therefore have an unusual typology with longer rooms. The living rooms of the large apartments benefit from loggias and arched […]

A central location to preserve its autonomy. The building, which houses the assisted living apartments, extends over six floors on the first floor and is elongated, but plays with numerous landings. On the first floor there are premises used by the CMS of the municipality of Ecublens (Centre médicosocial), a hairdressing salon and a common room with kitchen and disabled […]

Its positioning, parallel to the light inlets of the underground parking garage, maintains an almost invisible connection with the Clairière building. The way it stands on the site and the incorporation of the natural slope of the terrain show analogies with the latter. The creation of an outdoor space, rhythmized by patios and connecting the two ends of the building, is […]

Thanks to its design and exceptional quality, the residence is a European leader in this field. The very special and demanding features of the program left the architects little room for creativity. For this reason, the architectural concept was deliberately kept simple and above all functional, which is reflected in particular in its modular character, which offers the […]

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 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 arrangement of the buildings follows the movements of the terrain and the three- or four-storey design makes it possible to achieve low heights so that all owners have the same open space. Two entrances lead to three underground garages, which are directly connected to each other by vertical circulation shafts. The buildings have prefabricated balcony loggias, a main […]
