Club House
Scarcity of housing is of major concern in Geneva. This project proposes an answer to this dilemma by injecting 50'583 m² of both housing and public space. The brief for this hybrid complex includes a metro-station, mall, sports facilities, residences, kindergarten, nursing home and more. Set to become Geneva's new eastern gate looking unto France, it will gain notoriety as an essential urban node.
