Complementing one of the most innovative residential projects in Switzerland – the Les Verges eco-neighbourhood – equally ecologically planned and Minergie-ECO-certified public facilities by Sylla Widmann Architectes SA on the outskirts of Geneva provide a special link to the adjacent Jura mountains.
A technical school, an elementary school, a gymnasium and other social infrastructure benefit both the students and the neighbourhood. The permeable, pavilion-like ensemble with structures made of concrete and wood brings the various users together not only in the outdoor spaces created by the special building arrangement, but also creates neighbourly connections by the generous use of Glas Trösch‘s 4-season insulating glass SILVERSTARSELEKT.
