group8

group8 Founded in 2000, group8 is an architecture firm based in Geneva. group8 partners are Laurent Ammeter, Adrien Besson and Tarramo Broennimann.

Founded in 2000 and based in Geneva, group8 is an office which is active in the fields of architecture and urbanism and which lays claim to a certain creative freedom and constructive lightheartedness in a milieu better known for its sobriety. Its work is based around the idea that every project arising from a new context justifies a new approach and must involve a radical choice with the potentia

l for upsetting normal usage. Thus, a building develops a specificity and an identity which make it unique. Inspiration and drive come from a certain way of looking at society which is in a constant state of flux. Furthermore, projects are regarded as the formal expression of social behaviour. group8 defines approaches for each individual project which combine both large scale and detail, and it is this convergence of the particular and the macroscopic which constitutes its brand.

Montreal Building
World Council of Churches, Housing and daycare centre, Grand-Saconnex, Geneva 2017-in progress
The cubic and regular volume of the housing development is part of the so-called “Green Village” masterplan, consisting of a series of similar parallelepipeds surrounding the main building of the World Council of Churches and set in the landscaped context of a large garden. In accordance with the charter governing the ensemble, the architectural register expresses a filigree concrete grid through vertical pillars and wraparound balconies made of prefabricated elements. Its constructive assembly is obvious through the use of corbels. The architectural outline is freely inspired by Henri Lesemann and Honegger Frères’ building (1961–1967) that houses the chapel of Svend Erik Møller: a large order of columns supporting the roof affirms the Perretian theme of sovereign shelter. The treatment of the façades made of bronze-coloured sheet metal also reflects the built heritage context. The matrix of the apartments’ floor plan is organised around a vast distributive atrium that excavates the interior in a sculptural fashion, with a skylight and landings centred around the landing doors. Most of the apartments feature a corner loggia that groups together the daytime spaces and enhances the visual clearances on the parc and the historical garden of Walter Brugger.

The new building will house a variety of premises, developed on the principle of superimposition. Each floor benefits from its own , in the manner of a stack. In this way, each is geared to the design without being constrained by the logic of the other floors. This adjustment allows for a layout distribution, giving direct access to the exterior facilities on the same levels. The of the floors is created by a system of slabs and bands protecting the wood-paneled façades from the weather and providing shade during the summer period. The offsets create an emblematic image and identity matching the position of the building on the EPFL site. This stacking principle is also adapted to the requested degree of : the building can be raised by two levels, continuing the logic of the system used.
