Avenue de France 34-42 - Lausanne

On an occupied site in the heart of the city, Steiner took up the challenge of renovating and expanding five adjoining buildings housing 125 apartments on six floors, as well as shops on the ground floors. All this while limiting nuisances as much as possible.

Steiner not only had to renovate the buildings at numbers 34 to 42, but also replace all CVSE techniques and create new spaces in the basement, as well as private terraces on the roofs of the existing garage boxes.

To cope with the constraints of a dense urban environment, with a busy one-way street, Steiner set up particularly rigorous logistics. Deliveries are made in small convoys via the inner courtyard, where a mobile crane is installed that can be moved each evening to return the space to the tenants.
