A building, hub for biodiversity, which contributes to the comfort of its residents

The project will start with the preservation of this exceptional high-rise building in order to continue its remarkable heritage and history. STUDIO MUGO’s environmental approach can be seen through its primary choice of natural native species and a willingness to let nature re-establish itself in the city.

Various types of natural spaces will be created: a natural inaccessible terrace to serve as a refuge for biodiversity, communal garden-terraces with a community-based management, beech and spruce trees as well as pre-Alpine vegetation, installed in crevices and hanging pots. The urban block will open up onto the city thanks to its centre, which will lead directly onto the district at ground level.

A differentiated management system will be put in place to support and monitor the evolution of the architecture colonization by the plants.
