Les Jardins de Rozon Residential Flats

Beliggenhet og Området

Les Jardins de Rozon is a residential project located in Bardonnex, a locality near the border with France and close to the centre of Geneva. The area is known for its bucolic setting, including fields and vineyards near the Salève, and offers low housing density along with good public transport links and access to the A1 and A41 motorways. The project was driven by the Utilita Foundation for Non-Profit Real Estate, which aimed to reallocate an area of vegetable gardens to develop two residential buildings.

Prosjekt Detaljer og Design

The project, governed by the General Law on Development Zones, consists of two buildings, each containing nineteen flats ranging from three to six rooms. The first building is categorized as ZD-LOC and the second as HM-LUP. Designed by the Arcorea architectural firm in 2018, the construction was executed by Entreprise Totale Implenia Suisse SA, which also managed the overall works.

Bygningens Utforming

Each of the two low-height buildings features two storeys and an attic above the ground floor, blending seamlessly into their surroundings. They are linked by a two-storey basement housing a car park, cellars, PC shelters, laundry rooms, and utility rooms. The buildings are aligned along a footpath with south-facing facades featuring large balconies with frosted glass railings. The recessed stairwells at the rear are highlighted with red rendering and vertical bands of glazing, adding a distinctive architectural element.

Byggevolum og Tidslinje

The construction volume for Les Jardins de Rozon is 23,690.58 cubic meters. The project commenced in June 2020 and was completed by June 2021. The location of the finished buildings is at Chemin d’Archamps 20-22, 1257 La Croix-de-Rozon, Switzerland.
