Situé en limite de la zone artisanale à l’ouest de la ville de Lausanne, la Fondation de Vernand est composée de plusieurs constructions installées autour d’un jardin communautaire. Le projet propose de poursuivre la construction de la périphérie du site afin de valoriser le jardin existant, lieu de référence pour les résidents. Cette position permet de préciser la limite sud du jardin en créant une cour d’accueil en relation avec une nouvelle entrée du site. La nouvelle construction abrite un programme d’hébergement pour les résidents âgés ainsi qu’un centre de jour et un centre de soins. Une passerelle habitée relie ces deux programmes distincts. L’implantation condensée garanti l’espace nécessaire aux futures unités d’hébergement prévues en troisième étape qui prendront la place de l’ancienne maison. Tous les espaces du projet sont prévus avec des relations généreuses au paysage environnant, un dispositif de filtre en acier Corten protège les occupants des regards extérieurs et du soleil, tout en privilégiant un sentiment de liberté et de sécurité depuis l’intérieur.

The project is expressed as a collection of small volumes and refers to the density of chalets forming the traditional villages in this region.
However, it provides a free interpretation by reminding a visitor the characteristic hotel buildings of Leysin: a large house consisting of several small volumes. Continue reading Mann Capua-Mann

Dual Sports Hall . Borex-Crassier

The expansion of the existing sports hall is the result of a competition and left little margin of freedom because of a limited perimeter. Due to its position, the new extension reinforces the western boundary with the countryside and takes advantage of the break in terrain in order to reduce the impact of volume on the site. The quest for continuity with the existing building dictates the rules in terms of extension volume. The “fusional” approach adopted towards the existing structure allows to define a single entrance for the three sports halls.
The lookout on the surrounding countryside through a large opening reinforces the notion of lower level.
Showcasing the view, accentuated by the absence of vertical uprights over a length of thirty-two meters, is made possible thanks to a multi-trellis wooden beam six meters high and prefabricated in solid pine wood. The static system of the building derives from the intertwining of these multi-trellis beams. Their composition in three layers of wood of different thickness – a vertical layer flush with the interior cladding to guarantee the beam’s structural resistance, and two diagonal ones – reinforces the effect of transparency.
The interior space of these halls is defined on three of its sides by this play of wooden beams and affords a particular atmosphere further enhanced by the play of light which brings the beam’s cane texture to life. These effects are accentuated by the exterior covering, in translucent glass, and the interstitial space, one meter thick, which regulates the inside temperature and the intake of outside air through mechanically controlled louvers.
