Aeby Perneger & Associés SA (Carouge GE)

Since the office was founded in 1998, it has been active in a variety of fields: public and private architectural projects, both large and small-scale, urban planning projects, architectural criticism in various magazines, teaching at architecture schools and participation in competition juries. Since 2008, the office has also been active in renovation, construction economics and major project management.

The concerns that guide our work can hardly be summarized in a few points. A synthetic way of describing them would be to speak of a fine reading of the context of intervention, but also of a rational and sensitive understanding of the history of architecture and the city.

The precise inclusion in the project of considerations of urban and social appropriateness, constructive and functional sustainability, and economic imperatives, naturally places our work within a set of issues that today make up the notion of sustainable development.

Our working method is fairly straightforward: from the outset and without preconceptions, it is based on as direct and open an exchange as possible with the client, with the aim of identifying the specific needs and conditions of the project. In so doing, we aim to achieve a kind of "elegant solution" in the most diverse situations.
