PASODOBLE in Geneva, Switzerland by NOMOSFriday, July 8th, 2022Article source: NOMOS Pasodoble offers a home to people with mental disabilities and to students, as well as collective and social housing. Commercial spaces and a center for physical training and rehabilitation are located on the ground floor. A continuous arched portico binds them together and forms the structural base of the building. Two distinct volumes accommodate this diverse programme. They share an enfilade of slightly shifted patios. Together they reconcile the two different alignments on site and frame a majestic cedar tree. The space and the tension between the two bodies is reminiscent of the popular dance pasodoble, and creates the architectural theme and stimulates collective delight.  Image Courtesy © Paola Corsini
Renovation of a private villa on Geneva Lake in Switzerland by AGLarchitectsWednesday, April 13th, 2022Article source: AGLarchitects The water and the light are two archaic and fluid elements, used to reinvent a dark and severe villa on the Geneva lake, turning it into a house with a contemporary appeal. Long corridors, dark doors and window, fake terracotta floors; in the basement, a pool tiled with an obsolete pale blue mosaic, an old sauna, all surrounded by rustic plastered walls: this was the state of the villa before the intervention. To regain an harmonious dialogue with the “genius loci” of the lake, the beginning was the pool: turn it into a kind of added “living room”, as if it was a normal room, like any other but flooded by the water of the lake.

Dr. Prévost Housing in Geneva, Switzerland by NOMOSThursday, September 16th, 2021Article source: NOMOS Dr. Prévost housing project is situated in an increasingly urbanized residential neighbourhood close to the city centre. The existing cantonal master plan of the area is insensitive to its context and partly ignores the topography. It demands a sturdy L-shaped, 8 story building in the middle of a neighbourhood composed of individual villas with neat gardens. A dense programme, heavily regulated by housing laws and economical pressure, intends for a predefined mix of social housing and affordable condominiums.  Image Courtesy © Paola Corsini

The architectural design reflects the ideals of the United Nations through its concentric and radial circular design that exemplifies the concept of equality. Instead of large counters with different radius, a single and equal module of desk is designed for each member to be aggregated to others in according with the geometry of the different radius rows, in order to promote individuality and identity of nations, and at the same time express the strength of the union as one body to solve together the world problems.

Mr Barrett's House in Geneva, Switzerland by Daniel ZamarbideMonday, July 1st, 2019Article source: Daniel Zamarbide Internal architecture could name the process through which Mr. Barrett’s House has gone through. An interesting idea, directly borrowed from the medical world, would be to call ourselves internists in this sort of surgical intervention. Everything has been developed from the inside. There is a clear logic to do so when architecture has to face spaces of intimacy, places where the privacy and the interaction and complexity of human relations appear at its least public environment. It is thus about interiority. And the project literally took these criteria as a starting point to develop its conception and construction.  Image Courtesy © Dylan Perrenoud
