PAV Vernets, Geneva

The plot of land (Caserne des Vernets) earmarked for this programme (housing, offices, facilities, activities and businesses) is located near the river Arve and sporting facilities.

The project is being developed around a public park that opens on to trees overlooking the river Arve and features a school at its centre. The new constructions integrate the existing buildings in a composition of four islets that together form one large urban island. The islets, of varying dimensions, are each completed by two small towers 50 m high, placed at opposite corners. The islets also form a sequence of building fronts, considered as public spaces, set further back from the street.
