Les Mischabels Built for the future.

Named in reference to the Dôme des Mischabels, the highest mountain entirely on Swiss soil Anchored in a steep slope, it adapts skilfully to this slope despite its size. The entrance is on the sixth floor, attached on one level to the road on the west side. An interior street crosses the building from a end to end and rests a series of stairwells. The north façade, with its accentuated vertical lines, looks like a large church from a distance. Conversely, the south façade, which seeks to make the most of the view, is dominated by horizontal lines. The balconies are integrated into the volume. The balustrades are made of glass and give the illusion that they are windows even though the blinds are closed. Under the roof, the duplex apartments are visible on the façade.
