Topping-out ceremony for the "Artémis" residential complex in Bussigny (Canton Vaud)

Structural work on the "Artémis" residential complex, which commenced in November 2021, is now complete. This is a key milestone in the construction of 90 new Minergie-Eco homes that Steiner AG and clients UBS Direct Residential and Malley-Provence S.A. represented by UBS Fund Management celebrated today at the topping-out ceremony. Handover is planned for spring 2023, and work is progressing on schedule. 
 
Developed entirely by Steiner AG in conjunction with architects Burckhardt+Partner, the "Artémis" project will create 90 new 1½ to 4½-room apartments spread across four buildings, in the heart of the new Bussigny West eco-district. Intended for rental, the future apartments will be certified in accordance with the Minergie-Eco standard, and will combine sustainability with quality of life. Just a few minutes away from Bussigny railway station, the new complex will enable housing and nature to coexist, thanks to extensive revegetation. Christened "Artémis" after the Greek goddess of nature, it will feature high-quality landscaping, which will help to combat the issue of heat islands while also providing an attractive living environment. Green spaces will also be incorporated directly into the buildings thanks to planters installed on balconies. Inside too, future tenants will enjoy a pleasant living space with plenty of natural light, thanks to the generous ceiling heights of three metres. 
 
A desire to prioritise Swiss-made materials and fittings
Construction materials have been carefully selected, and not only highlight sustainability, but also satisfy Steiner AG's desire to favour Swiss-manufactured fittings, such as kitchens, windows and doors. The balcony balustrades will also be made entirely of Swiss wood.
 
Handover in spring 2023
Following on from the completion of specialised earthworks and levelling (which began at the end of June 2021), the structural work commenced in November 2021. It has also now been completed, in accordance with deadlines. The façade and interior work have now commenced. The "Artémis" complex is spread across two plots of land, with the homes on the first plot being handed over in April 2023, and those on the second plot being handed over in June 2023.
