Grand-Pré Sud

Grand-Pré Sud

2012 - 2015 · Suisse, Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne · Housing » Grouped

The layout of the buildings seeks to capitalise on the site's qualities while minimising its negative aspects. An elongated building comprising dual-aspect apartments backs onto the access road and extends the built frontage of the existing nursing home. Three other, more compact buildings are carefully positioned in the park to ensure the fluidity of the outdoor spaces. Their polygonal shape allows for a wide variety of corner flats and also offers several advantages: energy efficiency due to their compactness, economy in terms of the façade-to-floor area ratio, as well as optimal sunlight and views of the wooded landscape of La Mèbre.

With its wooden façades and the scale of its buildings, this neighbourhood reflects the rural character of the village of Cheseaux, on whose southern edge it is located.
The underground car park connects the four buildings via the basement, allowing the neighbourhood to be entirely pedestrianised.
