Project:

Rehabilitation of an old stable into an artists' studio with a restoration part, an art gallery and a residential part in the park of Mon Repos in Lausanne, Switzerland.

​​​

Theme and place:

The parc of Mon Repos was created in the early 18th gathering behind several vineyard parcels.

​

From the 19th and after some renovation, the layout of the park according to an overall plan is due to the French architect Louis Damesme, while François Monsailler father is in charge of the landscaping. The park thus gradually took on its current appearance completed with stables, a farm, an orangery (which will become the studio of the sculptor Yves Dana since 1987), as well as a Neo-Gothic tower.

​​​

Architectural principle:

The willingness was to have a contemporary touch in an old frame and reuse the compartments of the old stable.
