Topographie is part of a broader renovation program for the Marbrerie 13 building in Carouge. Located within the PAV district, this building will most likely disappear in the coming years, and this project aims to highlight the strong potential of the existing structure.

The through-space accommodates an intergenerational shared living arrangement: an elderly person, a student, a family of three with a young child, and an adult living with their adolescent. Together, they share the living spaces while benefiting from a private bedroom.

The four-meter ceiling height makes it possible to play with different levels according to their uses. Thus, two large volumes on either side of the central structural core divide the space and shape each inhabitant’s private areas.

The entrances at both ends provide a certain degree of autonomy. Each inhabitant can therefore enjoy their freedom while maintaining a sense of community.
