Céline

The Céline project, located in Veyrier, Geneva, involved the conversion and extension of a small villa. The aim was to increase living space by adding three separate volumes, all on one level, to ensure accessibility for people with reduced mobility. Two of these volumes are located on either side of the existing house. The ensemble is completed by a third entity, a detached garden shed.

Each volume is distinguished by its materials: masonry, insulating alveolar polycarbonate and larch. These architectural choices have been designed to meet the needs and lifestyles of the residents. The masonry volume blends harmoniously into the structure of the villa, acting as the main entrance facing the street. The greenhouse acts as a transition between the garden and the heart of the house, creating a lounge bathed in natural light. Finally, the garden shed, with its full larch cladding and gable roof, adds a warm touch and completes the overall perspective.
