Laying of the foundation stone at the OASSIS Neighbourhood

The foundation stone ceremony of the OASSIS Neighbourhood takes place on September 29th 2017 in the presence of the various project stakeholders. Carried out in several stages, the project involves numerous partners and in particular the contracting authority Patrimonium and the general contractor Losinger Marazzi. Ultimately, the new neighbourhood will accommodate several hundred homes, offices, shops and semi-public institutions.  In terms of town planning, the future neighbourhood will offer five complementary entities – three open ‘islands’, a tertiary hub and a public garden.     The exterior layout includes green roofs with vegetable gardens and photovoltaic panels, while the public garden will provide convivial surroundings for all users. In terms of architectural expression, the ‘islands’ will provide an explicit contrast between their mineral-based external facades and the lighter materials used on internal facades.
