The 4 As villas
Chene-Bourg
The 4 As: in Chene-Bourg, amid a lush fruit orchard, 4 contiguous villas stand in rows that are staggered to maintain privacy and bring in sunlight. The lines are fluid, and the space is put to good use. The large picture windows, the winter garden, and a patio skylight give the 4 As villas brightness and elegance.

The building materials are reinforced concrete for the basement and ground floor, while the wall framework and roof slab are crafted from wood. The fluid lines and large picture windows enhance the villas' brightness and elegance. Space is put to good use. Each house has an overall floorspace of 120 m², with 5 rooms distributed over 3 levels. The ground floor consists of a kitchen opening onto a fully glazed living room; this leads to a 14 m² winter garden with retractable glass walls, as well as an office and an adjoining shower room. The large picture windows also provide access to the outside from every room. The first floor has 2 bedrooms, including a large master bedroom, with access to a shower room and the balcony. Fully excavated and illuminated by a patio skylight, the basement has a workshop and a large open space that would be perfect for a games room. The options available include a car lift in which eight vehicles can be stacked on top of each other. To keep the interior cool during the summer heat, the roofs are planted. Each villa has triple glazing and the external joinery frames are made of wood and metal. Equipped with individual heat pumps connected to geothermal probes and photovoltaic production on the roof, the villas meet the Minergie-A standard and are energy self-sufficient. They are also equipped with smart home automated systems: the blinds, lights, and temperature can all be controlled from an iPad, while an optional Oblo barometer enables optimised energy consumption, even remotely.
