RESIDENTIAL BUILDING, PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION
A unique residential development currently under construction in the heart of the charming village of Lullier. The building, designed to Very High Energy Performance (VHEP) standards, will house 8 condominium flats and blend harmoniously into an environment that combines the charm of the old village, ancient farmhouses and scattered villas.
Our aim is to strengthen the village core by integrating contemporary architecture that draws its inspiration from the local heritage. On the street side, the building adopts a style that respects the traditional vocabulary, echoing the buildings in the village. To the south, on the agricultural side, it subtly evokes a barn, establishing a natural transition between urban and rural, while preserving the authenticity of this landscape.
The building comprises three storeys of living space over a functional basement that includes parking for cars and motorbikes, cellars, and technical and service rooms. The eight homes, ranging in size from 3 to 6 rooms, are designed to offer comfort and light. Six of them are walk-through, with bedrooms facing north, towards the village, and living areas with large windows facing south, offering uninterrupted views of the farmland and the Jura mountains. The other two flats face south only to maximise the amount of natural light.
The main access is via an open courtyard, a space designed to preserve a remarkable tree, a true symbol of conviviality and a meeting point. Located right next to the bus stop, this courtyard encourages soft mobility, strengthening social ties and interaction between neighbours.
At the centre of the façade, a large door inspired by traditional barn doors marks the entrance to the communal areas, which are bathed in natural light. Each flat has a generous south-facing loggia, while the ground-floor units benefit from a private garden, a feature that extends the living space outwards.
Designed with respect for its surroundings, this project combines simplicity and sustainability, with particular attention to architectural detail. Built to blend into the sensitive fabric of the village, the building is also exemplary in environmental terms. It aims to reduce CO2 emissions at every stage, from construction to operation. Finally, its shell is designed to the highest energy standards.
Access to the building is organised around an open courtyard preserving a remarkable tree, a real focal point of the project, which encourages conviviality. Situated opposite the village bus stop, this courtyard becomes a place to meet and exchange ideas, facilitating soft mobility.
At the centre of the street façade, a large door inspired by traditional barn doors marks the entrance to the communal areas, which are bathed in natural light. All the flats have generous south-facing loggias, while the ground-floor units have private gardens.
Designed with respect for its surroundings, this project combines simplicity, sustainability and attention to architectural detail. As well as blending into the fragile fabric of the village, it is exemplary from an environmental point of view, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions both during construction and in use. The building envelope meets the highest legal standards in force in Geneva, namely Very High Energy Performance or VHEP, with triple glazing and 49cm-thick insulating brick facade walls.
