Grands-Champs Mixed Residential Neighborhood - følg statusen

Ny bydel i Epalinges

The Grands-Champs project in Epalinges involves the transformation of a 9,200 square meter site into a mixed-use residential neighborhood. Located on the heights of Lausanne, the project area was previously occupied by a tennis hall and an old carpentry workshop. These structures were demolished to make way for 11 new residential buildings. The site is ideally situated near public transport and is bordered by a wooded hill and an avenue of trees.

Landskapsutforming med grøntområder

A key feature of the project is its landscaping, designed to provide private areas that are still visually connected to the surrounding wooded hillside. The buildings are structured on various levels to ensure intersecting views, minimizing direct opposites and traffic visual impact. The development includes small squares, playgrounds, lawns, and paths connected by staircases, enhancing both utility and aesthetic appeal.

To boligkategorier og parkeringsløsning

The residential buildings are divided into two categories: five rental buildings near Berner Strasse and six buildings intended for sale as condominiums. The layout maximizes open spaces and integrates large balconies to strengthen the architectural design. A single entrance on the south side allows access to an underground garage, thus reducing surface-level motorized traffic and prioritizing pedestrian zones. The entire development maintains uniform architecture to ensure visual coherence.
