The building is located on the higher grounds of Geneva’s Mervelet neighbourhood.
At the heart of a rapidly changing residential area, the site has the remains of a garden-city with scattered century-old houses and trees.
Depending on use and context, the outside skin of the building can have several expressive overlays.
It reacts like a sensitive interface between inhabitants and their perceived and lived environment.
Facing south and west, the alternate assembly of prefabricated concrete modules creates the structure of an inhabited hive.
