KMS ARCHITECTES SA (Genève)

In January 1964, Arthur Lozeron, Marc Mozer and René Koechlin formed their Architects' Association. They operated in this way until 1967, when the first named retired, before his death four years later.

René Koechlin and Marc Mozer continued to work together under the name Atelier KM, in the fields of architecture and urban planning, mainly in the canton of Geneva, French-speaking Switzerland and, occasionally, France. They have also worked in Italy, Algeria, Libya, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

Over the years, the agency has grown from 15 to 45 employees, depending on the assignment and the economic situation. In 1991, it took on two new partners, Théo Muller and Jean-Michel Stucki, and was known as Bureau KMMS until Marc Mozer retired in 2000. It then became Atelier KMS. Marc Mozer remained with the company until Jean-Michel Stucki left nine years later. Since 2009, the corps has had three new partners in Patrick Corbat, Roberto Mazzu and Philippe Pochelon. It is now known as KMS architectes SA.
