44 appartments and commercial spaces
44-Unit Residential Building in Eaux-Vives, Geneva
Located in the vibrant district of Eaux-Vives, this 44-unit residential building is part of a rapidly evolving urban environment. Designed to provide a sustainable, high-quality and timeless living environment, the project complies with the planning and architectural requirements of the PLQ (Local Neighbourhood Plan) while contributing to the ongoing development and enhancement of Geneva’s urban fabric.
A Contemporary and Enduring Architecture
The residential building is organized around three separate stair cores, ensuring clear circulation and an efficient distribution of the apartments. This configuration promotes both privacy for residents and smooth access throughout the building, creating a comfortable and well-balanced residential atmosphere.
Architecturally, the project is defined by a restrained and elegant volumetric composition, designed to remain relevant over time. Following a timeless design approach, the building emphasizes clean lines, balanced proportions and a strong material presence.
A Project Integrated into Its Urban Context
Located within a structuring PLQ development area in the Eaux-Vives district, the residential building contributes to the careful densification and transformation of this sought-after area of Geneva. Close to local shops, public transport and the shores of Lake Geneva, the project benefits from a privileged setting combining urban vitality with residential quality of life.
Designed to meet the needs of contemporary urban living, the building offers bright and functional apartments, carefully planned to provide comfort, spatial efficiency and everyday well-being.
Durable and High-Quality Concrete Construction
The building structure is made entirely of concrete, providing robustness, durability andlong-term structural performance. The façade—an essential element of the project’s identity—is composed of dark-tinted prefabricated concrete panels, giving the building a distinctive architectural character while allowing it to integrate harmoniously into its urban context.
This material strategy offers several advantages:
- long-term durability of the building
- controlled maintenance over time
- a sober and contemporary architectural expression
The use of prefabricated elements also ensures high construction precision and quality of execution, while contributing to an efficient and well-managed construction process.
A Sustainable Vision of Urban Living
Beyond its architectural expression, the project follows a responsible and sustainable design approach, prioritizing robust materials, rational construction methods and harmonious integration into its surroundings.
Through this approach, the building establishes itself as a timeless residential architecture in Geneva, capable of accompanying the evolution of the Eaux-Vives district while offering residents a durable and high-quality place to live.
