The redevelopment of this site is part of the urban dynamic generated by the arrival of the tram and aims to establish a new form of urbanity for this district located on the outskirts of the capital, at the transition between the urban fabric of the Cloche d'Or and the Howald forest. Very well served by public transport (tram, train, bus) as well as by individual mobility (motorway, cycle paths), the site offers favourable conditions for controlled densification, reconciling urban intensity, mixed uses, and the preservation of a human scale.
The project comprises five buildings set within generously landscaped grounds: three office buildings and two mixed-use buildings, predominantly residential, complemented by shops and dining spaces.
Vegetation plays a structuring role in the composition of the site. Green spaces are not limited to a purely decorative treatment: they become genuine places of encounter and interaction, creating a landscape continuity between the different built entities and reinforcing the urban mix of the district.
Despite a surface area of 13,000 m², the deliberate choice of a limited footprint, combined with carefully controlled built density, has made it possible to develop taller volumes while preserving the architectural coherence of the ensemble.
This coherence is notably reflected in the treatment of the façades, which draws on the materiality and massiveness of stone, combined with large glazed openings. This composition preserves a human-scale perception, reinforced by the presence of terraces that animate the public space. The latter is crossed by pathways dedicated to soft mobility, encouraging active travel and strolling. Particular attention has also been paid to universal accessibility: all pathways and public spaces have been designed to meet ADAPTH standards, ensuring smooth and safe circulation for all users.
The Shift, The Corner, and The Edge — three already-built buildings — share a common architectural language and are organised around a central private park, richly planted, offering users a calm and high-quality space to relax.
The base of The Shift building is treated as a slightly recessed volume, which softens the perception of its height at pedestrian level. Clad in a light-toned natural stone, it echoes the stone finishes of The Corner and The Edge buildings, ensuring a unified reading across the ensemble. The largely glazed ground floors create transparent bases that promote visual porosity and generously open the building onto the public space. These active façades help create a welcoming atmosphere along pedestrian routes.
The buildings mainly house office spaces designed to offer great modularity. Each floor is fully fit-out ready and can be divided into two independent units, making it easy to adapt the spaces to users' needs, whether large organisations or smaller structures. This flexibility guarantees a simple evolution of layouts over time and a sustainable optimisation of floor plates.
The curtain-wall façades visually compose double-height ensembles. Solar gain is managed by exterior roller shutters complemented by vertical louvres, which contribute both to thermal comfort and to the architectural expression of the façades.
The South Village project, for its part, represents a coherent extension of this emerging new centrality. It extends the logic of a dense yet controlled urban fabric, reinterpreting the idea of an "urban village" founded on functional mix and the quality of public spaces. The programme combines housing, shops, offices, co-living, and co-working spaces around a landscaped, largely pedestrian central square, creating a lively and welcoming living environment that naturally engages with the public spaces of the main project. The generosity of the pathways, the continuous presence of vegetation, and the hierarchy of routes reinforce this urban continuity between the different ensembles.
Through its positioning, its controlled density, its contemporary architecture, and its diversified programming, South Village complements and enriches the overall project. It contributes to the creation of a genuinely mixed, sustainable, and attractive district, where landscape continuity, architectural coherence, and new urban ways of life come together.
Together, The Shift, The Corner, The Edge, and South Village form a new urban piece, structured to welcome a diverse population while offering public spaces of high quality.
