CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

As an architectural practice in Geneva specialising in contemporary architecture, we design modern, sustainable buildings that respect the environment. Each contemporary architecture project is designed with energy performance, site integration and innovative architectural design in mind. Our Geneva office applies an innovative and creative approach, combining architectural design, energy performance and harmonious integration with the site. Each project is designed to meet today's challenges and anticipate tomorrow's needs in the heart of Greater Geneva, with a humanist vision of architecture.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDINGS

Our architects work on administrative and tertiary buildings in two complementary ways. On the one hand, we bring administrative buildings up to current environmental standards, while optimising comfort and energy performance, by combining high technical standards, respect for the building and a long-term vision. On the other hand, we have the expertise to convert office buildings into sustainable, functional accommodation by giving new meaning and use to existing volumes. Our know-how is based on a demanding architectural approach and a thorough understanding of the challenges of urban regeneration.
