Among the most notable are the student residence for IHEID in Geneva, the Les Jeurs house in Trient, the transformation of the Reuilly barracks in Paris, public facilities in the Jonction eco-district, and the daycare center on Route de Frontenex, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLacroix Chessex’s architecture always stems from a precise analysis of the site and unfolds without predetermined formulas. Each project finds its form in dialogue with what already exists, deciding whether to continue an existing logic or propose a clear break. Materials are presented with honesty—wood, concrete, stone, or brick—without superfluous finishes, while construction details reveal a pursuit of clarity and durability. In their transformations and rooftop extensions, the new layers are conceived as contemporary contributions that update the building, enrich its lifespan, and at the same time introduce comfort and sustainability in a natural way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eArchitecture 2012–2025 978-84-17753-74-0\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hochparterre Bücher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181954589000,"sku":"978-84-17753-74-0","price":64.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/lacroix-chessex-tc-169.jpg?v=1779811679","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/products\/lacroix-chessex-978-84-17753-74-0","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
