106 leiligheter i åtte bygg

The Domaine de Maisonneuve Housing Development, initiated under the Plan localisé de quartier de Maisonneuve in 1986, received planning permission 20 years later. The project comprises 106 flats, divided into 54 condominiums and 52 rental units across eight buildings, in Vernier, Switzerland.

Klassisk og moderne design

Architects maximized space utilization by constructing tall buildings with setbacks in the floor plan and elevation, avoiding a monolithic block appearance. Key planning criteria included a blend of classic and contemporary design, operational cost optimization, and minimized energy consumption. The project emphasizes green spaces, including a playground and a large garden, and ensures a pedestrian-friendly zone by restricting car traffic at ground level with pre-parked vehicle arrangements.

Betongstruktur og solbeskyttelse

The construction features classic reinforced concrete structures with perimeter insulation, composite cladding, and low-emissivity gas glazing for exterior PVC joinery. Integrated blackout blinds and awnings offer sun protection. The project primarily includes 4- and 5-room flats and represents an investment of approximately 47 million. Buildings 12 E to 12 L were added to an existing complex of four blocks, totaling a construction volume of 39,018 m3.

The Domaine de Maisonneuve was designed by Atelier d’architecture Jean-Louis & Dominique Ardin Patrice Bezos for Favre & Guth SA - Carouge, with collaboration from Dominique Hominal, and was completed in June 2008.
