Les Architectes Associés Caduff Louis Sàrl (Genève)

From Switzerland to Venezuela, via Germany, Belgium, Holland, Russia and the Czech Republic - "les Architectes Associés" have put their stamp on a variety of projects, giving them an experience as varied as it is enriching.

From corporate headquarters to banks, hotels and housing, their responses are imbued with accuracy, realism, sensitivity and creativity. Whether for new construction or renovation of listed or unlisted buildings, they seek to achieve the ideal compromise between the requirements of specific programs and economic, social and budgetary constraints. They give priority to dialogue between the parties involved, without excluding the intuitive aspect - inherent in every creative act - at the genesis of a project, in order to act as a link between dream and reality.

When restoring listed buildings, the approach is similar, but with the addition of an attentive eye for the richness and historical aspects of the site, which commands respect and tends to treat it as a jewel case requiring reserve and humility in the creative gesture.

When studying projects, they don't hesitate to develop constructive systems adapted to the resources of local companies, the capabilities of the workforce, lead times and budgets. This often leads them to explore, exploit and perfect techniques that are well known, but little used. The example of the headquarters of the Digital company in Geneva is a perfect illustration of this approach, where they did not hesitate to integrate solar panels right from the design stage.

Architectes Associés are architects with a passion for architecture in search of the absolute - an absolute that is not inaccessible because it is utopian, but rather the fruit of an intelligent, reasoned and sensitive mastery that has been and continues to be forged in the love and obsession of a job well done.
