4th Prize for Our “Il Campaniletto” Project in the La Nuova Provvidenza Competition in Geneva
Developed by our firm, the “Il Campaniletto” project was awarded 4th Prize (4th Place) in the architectural competition organized by the Società della Cappella Italiana for the future La Nuova Provvidenza multigenerational center in Geneva’s Eaux-Vives district.
The project envisions a compact and distinctive building designed as a new urban landmark at the entrance to the neighborhood. Bringing together a nursing home, independent senior housing, family apartments, and a range of publicly accessible spaces, it places intergenerational interaction at the heart of its organization.
The architecture is structured around generous communal spaces, a strong relationship with the surrounding public realm, and an ongoing dialogue with the landscape. The nursing home living units are extended by large shared loggias offering open views, while the residential units benefit from private outdoor spaces that enhance well-being and foster a sense of belonging.
The project also relies on a clear and efficient structural grid incorporating timber-concrete composite floor systems, supporting both construction efficiency and the project's environmental objectives.
