Terrasses Volantes Residential Complex

Beboelseskompleks i privilegert område

Terrasses Volantes is a residential complex located in the privileged setting of Hauterive and Saint-Blaise, nestled between vineyards, Lake Neuchâtel, and the Alps. Initiated by the architectural firm IPAS Architectes SA in 2016, the project has been built by Implenia since 2017. The complex features four three-storey apartment blocks spread across a slender, sloped site with a height difference of more than ten meters.

Panoramautsikt og romslige terrasser

The unique design leverages the slope of the terrain to offer exceptional panoramic views. The 35 apartments range from 3.5 to 5.5 rooms, all featuring generous south-facing terraces. The terraces vary in size, with the largest measuring 90 square meters. Bright, spacious interiors with large bay windows maximize the scenic views, enhancing the living experience with a modern architectural style.

Utført på bratt skråning på 2 år

Despite the complexities of building on a steep slope and the additional challenges posed by its location between a cantonal road and SBB tracks, the project was completed in less than two years. The site required extensive backfilling and clearing of pollutants. Ductile piles and micropiles were used to stabilize the foundations, and a concrete noise barrier was installed along the SBB tracks. The buildings have a concrete structure with ventilated Eternit-panel facades and high-quality materials throughout.

Teknologi og bærekraft prioriteres

Technology and sustainability were prioritized, with each apartment featuring an acoustic ventilation monoblock, geothermal probes, and solar panels on the roof to achieve the Minergie simple label. The site also includes carports with metal structures and a playground with planted areas. All these elements contribute to providing a high level of comfort and modern living standards.
