Quartet
Geneva
A city within a city
Favourable for traffic and close to the city centre, a lively district with 12 buildings will be developed by summer 2022 in Geneva's Charmilles district on the right bank of the lake. The project will be located on the site of the old Hispano Suiza works, a former mechanical company established in 1904, which soon developed into a globally renowned automobile brand.
Manifold project
The Quartet project was developed and planned using the BIM method and bears the Minergie label. The project involves the renovation of a building and the realisation of an ensemble of eleven new interlinked buildings with offices and industrial, trade and commercial premises. The project also includes a 114-room hotel and a University of Art and Design (HEAD). HRS handed over the first buildings were handed to the client in spring 2018.
