Pressy Parc

In an exceptional green wooden area in Vandœuvres, Geneva, Pressy Parc is a high-quality residential project designed by Pierre-Alain Dupraz Architectes.

Carefully organized according to the topography of the site and the position of a series of large centennial oaks, the three autonomous housing blocks fit the slope of the terrain, looking like large modern villas. The residential typologies allow for extreme flexibility of use and make the most from the views while optimizing natural light through generous continuous glazed bands alternated by linear reinforced concrete parapets that configure the cantilevers of the balconies and ensure the privacy of the apartments. This rigorous architectural language translates to enhancing the visual relations with the exterior.

Faithful to the motto of being “the architect’s tool”, panoramah! windows were specially customized for this project, optimizing the typological and dimensional solutions within the technical and economic limits of the operation. To ensure the complete continuity of the glazed horizontal bands, the ah!60 birail window frames are entirely uninterrupted as if part of the same window throughout the entire floor.

Furthermore, the high-performance construction standard allows a significant reduction in terms of energy consumption thanks to multiple devices – including solar panels, geothermal probes, and a geocooling system – but, especially, the exceptional thermal efficiency of the ah!60 doors and windows.
