VNR_R192/18
Vernier, Switzerland
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2018
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
A house. Nestling on a steep hillside sloping down
to the Rhône. An apartment house that does not
replace the domestic and individual scale of the
built fabric by the reproduction of a rental archetype
– with its entrance hall, letterboxes and interphone.
Here, these functions are distributed: the
hall is the exterior space between each wing,
serving as a central patio, providing air and light.
The shared garage forms the forecourt lined with
ceramic pots filled with plants.
The seven apartments occupying the building are
divided into three distinct and assembled units. The
central walkway is lined on either side by two units
consisting of two single-storey apartments demarcating
the entrance courtyard. These twin apartments
form a dual relationship with the surrounding
space, the first stretching vertically with a roof terrace
and the second horizontally with an outdoor
extension. This extension enables a rooftop access
to the third volume, standing at the edge of the
slope and housing three duplex apartments.
With a view to ensuring compactness and protection,
the villa is only broadly open towards the
landscape. The smaller openings on the side and
rear façades have wooden frames while the structures
housing the large bay windows overlooking
the countryside are made of aluminium with sliding
elements and loggias.
Exterior insulation is not used. From a concrete
structural core, the external walls are made of
monolithic pumice bricks insulated with rock wool
and coated with a skin of scraped mineral plaster,
its greenish tint completing the site’s variety
of colours.
