The project

Designed and built between 1965 and 1973 by architects G. Brera, P. Waltenspühl and G. Berthoud, the Tourelle residential complex is widely regarded as part of Geneva's 20th-century architectural heritage.
The Tourelle shopping centre is very much a neighbourhood centre, hosting shops, restaurants and useful services that make it an indispensable amenity for its users. Although the centre offers a diverse range of stores, its design is outdated and no longer in keeping with its positioning as a part of a vibrant family-oriented community.
The renovation of the mall is aimed primarily at ensuring that La Tourelle continues to be an integral part of the neighbourhood, while creating a modern, friendly atmosphere.
