St-Légier: Renovating a Listed Heritage Building

This project involved the renovation of a building recognized as a heritage site of the Canton of Vaud, developed together with ARCOSSARRE Architecture SA. Given its protected status, we approached both the facade and the interiors with particular care.

Location: St-Légier, Vaud, Switzerland
Client: ARCOSSARRE Architecture SA
Scope: Facade & Interior Renovation, Materials & CGI
Year: 2026

The building's exposed timber framing and stone walls were preserved as found. Its decorative cladding materials were refreshed rather than replaced, kept close to their original character, and the interiors were completed with new furniture throughout.
