We are thrilled to announce that B29 has been named winner 🥇 for the transformation of the ART CENTER « PICTO », in Petit-Saconnex.
This recognition celebrates our skills in technical transformation that has been developped for over 18 years at the office. It is also a reward as we decided to be back to architectural competition and participate more and more on studies of public facilities.
This transformation project is set on 3’566 m2 displayed on 3 storeys. It will be the rebirth of a former Geneva-art-factory.
The building houses contemporary artists such as painters, designers, film-makers, dancers, musician, and theater teams.
It will gather both the space for their production and the space for exhibition under one roof.
The original building from 1964, designed by the Architect Henri Lesemann, will get modernised through an important thermal and energetical renovation process. The transformation is set to reach the HPE-renovation label.
The project will be engaged in sustainable design with high constraints in the field of heritage architecture.
Our office is honored to be part of this journey that is planned for 2026, 2027 and 2028.
