The site is ideally placed at the entrance of Lausanne, Vaud capital, and directly adjacent to the Lavaux site that is included on the UNESCO’s world heritage list. From the civil engineering point of view, the greatest challenge was the nature of the terrain: very heterogeneous and rather poor quality of the layers. Various studies have been conducted to determine the concept of foundation but also the type of excavation walls. Everything has become more difficult due to the presence of water. The second major problem was the architectural concept that places the housing storey without direct vertical connection to the bearing elements of the industry-trading ground floor. A distribution slab had to be foreseen to transfer the forces between the different levels. However, the structure is fairly simple with a skeleton made of cast in place slabs, columns and reinforced concrete walls. The foundation is made as a general slab with local thickenings.
