projects

Our passion and drive have been instrumental to the success of numerous projects both domestically and all around the world.
All of those projects have different characteristics, different background stories and different specific requirements.
But each and every one of them embodies our whole experience.
They are all unique.
From industrial hangars to high-bay warehouses, from bold suspension bridges to glass skyscrapers in the world’s largest cities, we have realised more than 2000 projects over the years.
The following selection showcases our various areas of competence.

Geneva, transparency for the city of peace

The Maison de la Paix is a major academic and institutional hub at the heart of international Geneva. The complex consists of six interconnected, petal-like volumes, whose curved geometries create an organic, light-filled and highly distinctive architectural form.

The building envelope combines double-skin façades, steel-and-glass structures, walkways, staircases and bespoke solutions developed for long spans. The transparency of the glazed surfaces complements the building’s sculptural character, allowing natural light to penetrate the interior while delivering high levels of thermal and acoustic insulation.

The project brings together structural lightness, technological efficiency and geometric complexity, resulting in an envelope that precisely articulates the open and prestigious character of the Maison de la Paix.
