Following a significant demographic growth in the city of Meyrin, in particular, in the Vergers district, an evolution of the existing sports installation and infrastructure was required.

Our team successfully lead the design and construction of new sports installations. The design was influenced and constricted by the existence of two legacy sports buildings from the 1980’s.

Tower Les Ailes in Meyrin, Switzerland by Aeby Perneger & Associés

Friday, September 20th, 2019

Article source: Aeby Perneger & Associés

The project derives from a parallel study won by Aeby Perneger & Associés through the Cooperative Les Ailes.

The building is inserted in the urban plan of the eco-quartier of Verges, with the role to highlight one of the gateways of the quartier and complete a series of towers along the Napoleonic route that leads from Geneva to Saint-Genis-Pouilly though the CERN.

The volume to construct counts 11 floors above ground, placed on a 2-storey basement, with a total of 13 levels inscribed in a 22×45 m rectangle. Following the wish of the cooperative, the program of the building is mixed: 22 dwellings for elders provided with welcome facilities for the neighborhood, about 75 family dwellings, medical practices, offices and businesses, also including a small supermarket and a restaurant.
