Flon Pépinières Development Project

Fullført transformasjon i Flon-distriktet

The Flon Pépinières project, located in the heart of Lausanne's Flon district, stands as a testament to the area's revitalization efforts over the past 15 years. Initially constructed on the old bed of the Flon River, the district features an orthogonal layout and harmonious architectural heights. This project marks the completion of a significant transformation phase inspired by the PPA (plan partiel d'affectation) of Lausanne, making the district a vibrant center day and night, offering a mix of stores, restaurants, entertainment, education, and housing.

Tre bygninger: A, B, og C

The project comprises three buildings: A, B, and C, each integrating seamlessly with the district's existing urban planning principles. Building A, adjacent to the jazz school (EJMA), extends and complements the educational facility. Building B mirrors the smaller industrial-era buildings, while Building C, the most prominent structure of the project, redefines the southern frontage of the Esplanade du Flon, establishing itself as a central landmark. The design includes first-floor kinks to foster interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces, and a roof garden offering a green counterpoint to the surrounding urban area.

Byggevolum og offentlige rom

Details of the project's scope are notable, with a total building volume of 37,598 cubic meters. The master plan emphasizes public space design to strengthen connections with Rue des Côtes-de-Montbenon, integrating it into the district's lively atmosphere. Public use is encouraged with accessible spaces, ensuring the neighborhood remains functional and active around the clock. The construction began in June 2011 and was completed by June 2014, overseen by Architectes Burckhardt+Partner SA.
