On Thursday, 8 June 2017, the groundbreaking ceremony for the headquarters of an international organisation took place in Geneva with Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General, Ambassador Valentin Zellweger as representative of the Swiss Confederation, Mr François Longchamp, President of the Canton of Geneva and the President of the Community of Pregny-Chambésy, Mr Philippe Schwarm.

Raphael Kräutler gave a lecture on «Facades» at the Politecnico di Milano on Tuesday morning, June 13th, 2017.

After nearly five years of planning, the ground-breaking ceremony was celebrated on 1st June 2017. We would like to thank all the project participants for their excellent cooperation so far!

Our project was awarded the 7th prize. An international two-stage competition for the extension of the Life Science division in Lausanne.

We are glad to realize an installation at the 16th Designers’ Saturday, November 5th and 6th, with the danish furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen.

It’s going on! A stone of 26 tones was delivered at construction area. This stone will carry the projecting roof. St. Jakobshalle is the second largest event hall of Switzerland.
