Nytt tak og takrenner

The Avenue Dapples 24-26-28 project in Lausanne focused on renovating a historic building constructed in 1932. This classic example of civic architecture is located in the Sousgare district, near the new M2 metro line construction site. The primary renovation task was separating the roof's clear water through tinsmith work to prevent water ingress held back by a central gutter. A new titanium zinc roof was installed, which was elevated and fitted with external gutters.

Nye sikkerhetstiltak og vinduer

In consultation with the Office for Building Culture and the Lausanne Architecture Office, new PVC windows with insulating glazing were added. To enhance security, entrance gates, intercom systems, and burglar-resistant grilles were installed on the first floor. The project also included the creation of a covered bicycle parking area in the English courtyard and a semi-underground bin room outside.

Oppdateringer på fasader og balkonger

Spanning seven floors and including a penthouse, the complex comprises 54 apartments, a crèche, and a car garage on the first floor. Although the interior has seen continuous renovations since 1983, the roof and façades required significant updates due to weathering and soiling. These updates involved treating the brickwork on balconies, parapets, panels, and plaster, as well as adjusting the railings of windows, terraces, and balconies from 60 cm to 100 cm.

Renovering ferdig juni 2005

The project was managed by Alberti Architectes SA, with construction beginning in June 2004 and completion in June 2005. The renovation adds significant value to the buildings, ensuring their structural integrity and enhancing the quality of living for residents while preserving the historical aesthetic.
