Full byggrenovering, Vevey

The project involved the complete renovation of a six-storey building located at Rue Du Simplon 35 in the heart of Vevey, Switzerland. Originally built in 1964, the building contained 32 small apartments and faced a lack of technical infrastructure including outdated plumbing, electricity, gas, elevator, kitchens, and bathrooms.

Ombygging til større leiligheter

To meet market demand for high-quality rental units in Vevey's city center, the client prioritized transforming the building's small apartments into a mix of larger 2-, 3-, 4-, and 6-room apartments. The extensive renovation resulted in 20 spacious and bright apartments, along with 4 ground-floor stores, significantly enhancing the building's usability and attractiveness. Notably, there is now only one apartment per level in the north section of the building.

Reorganisering og energieffektivisering

The renovation also included a redesign of the internal layout, arranging the apartments around a central cage and increasing their space and volume by removing some terracotta brick walls. New connections were created, and partition walls reconstructed using Alba, a material that simplifies the installation of wall coverings. Additionally, the attic apartments were completely re-insulated to improve energy efficiency.
