AWP (Marc Armengaud, Matthias Armengaud, Alessandra Cianchetta) has won a competition to create a contemporary city near Lausanne,
which boasts stunning views over the lake to the mountains beyond.
The 68.000 m2 site will include: 390 housing units - a mix of housing and apartment blocks; public amenities, including green space and a network of public areas; shopping, a hotel and health and education facilities.
Environmental considerations are paramount and enhanced by the stunning location. The project is an exemplar of public and private stakeholders working in unison to create a superb 21st century living space.
L’Orée de Crissier’s diversity and identity make it an exemplary neighbourhood. Successful development now relies primarily on the
redevelopment of its disused and former industrial areas.
Among these areas, the future district of l’Orée de Crissier is well-placed through proximity both to a communication axis and public transport and thanks to its natural setting.
The site is located overlooking the road that connects Prilly to the Crissier motorway junction, a vantage point that offers splendid views of the Alps and the Jura and can accommodate 390 affordable and diverse medium-term houses, as well as 27.000m2 of recreational space.
