CORPUS Architecture Urbanisme

CORPUS is an architectural practice established over twenty years ago in French-speaking Switzerland, which sees architecture and urban planning as disciplines that go beyond the simple act of building. Each of our projects is a response to issues that are part of a long-term, shared territory. By virtue of their location and lifespan, all the buildings we produce convey collective aspirations and bear witness to today's society for future generations.

The architectural approach is based on clarifying and raising awareness of the issues inherent in each project. CORPUS adopts a broad approach, placing reflection at the heart of its work. By carrying out an in-depth assessment, the architects identify fundamental issues such as long-term quality of use, urban integration and environmental requirements. Each project is a tailor-made response to its own specific challenges, in a constant quest for authenticity and excellence. 

With a multidisciplinary team based on a responsible and collaborative vision, the architects at CORPUS are committed to offering architecture that focuses on people, through emblematic, functional and sustainable projects.

The firm's architectural practice covers a wide range of areas, from the construction of contemporary villas, residential buildings and public programmes to the conversion and renovation of heritage properties in French-speaking Switzerland.

CORPUS sees each project as an opportunity to push back the boundaries of what is possible, to create meaning and meet the most ambitious expectations, and to play a key role in the architectural dialogue of the greater Geneva area.
