Project overview<\/h2>

This project consisted of the complete transformation of an apartment located in Geneva for owners residing abroad for the duration of the work.<\/p>

The objective was not only to renovate bathrooms, but to rethink several key areas of the home in order to improve daily comfort, the quality of finishes, storage solutions and the aesthetic consistency of the entire apartment.<\/p>

The project included the complete renovation of two bathrooms and a guest WC, the creation of several custom-made joinery elements, the modernization of the entrance as well as various technical and architectural improvements throughout the accommodation.<\/p>

The owners were looking for a partner capable of taking charge of the entire project, from the design phase to final delivery, while ensuring rigorous remote monitoring.<\/p>

The challenge<\/h2>

The unique aspect of this project lay as much in its level of completion as in its organization.<\/p>

With the owners absent for the entire duration of the construction, it was essential to put in place a management framework allowing complete visibility on the progress of the work, the decisions to be made, the orders in progress and the respect of the established budget.<\/p>

The construction work also took place in an occupied condominium, requiring constant coordination with the management company, neighbors and various stakeholders in order to limit disturbances and ensure respect for common areas.<\/p>

As with many high-end projects, some of the equipment ordered experienced significant manufacturing and delivery delays, requiring schedule adjustments and temporary solutions to maintain the pace of the construction site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rethinking the entrance<\/h2>

The entrance was designed as a true reception area rather than a simple passageway.<\/p>

A custom-made bench with an upholstered seat was created to provide more comfort and functionality for everyday use.<\/p>

A large-format mirror was also integrated as a central element of the design.<\/p>

Given its exceptional dimensions and the building’s access constraints, it could not be transported to the apartment in one piece.<\/p>

A specific installation solution has therefore been developed to allow it to be installed in several elements while maintaining the visual appearance of a continuous mirror once the installation is complete.<\/p>

technical coordination<\/h2>

The project’s completion required the coordination of numerous trades:<\/p>
