Edouard-Rod 6-8

Built by architect G. Augsburg in the 1940s, they form part of a group of four buildings of the same typology, spread out along the slope. No significant renovations had been undertaken until the current works plan, but several apartments had undergone limited interventions over time. In 2014, L-Architectes Sàrl won the tender to renovate the apartments and insulate the facade.

Entreprise Totale Alpenda is managing the works, which, in addition to the in-depth renovation of the buildings, also include the addition of eight new apartments by refitting the attics.

Served by two entrances, the buildings now each house 34 apartments, with each stairwell distributing three apartments per existing level, and two on the last level, which will be built on the roof. The project involves energy renovation, refurbishment, upgrading and raising the height of the two apartment buildings, on an inhabited site. The work includes the installation of a new thermal envelope and insulation of the basement ceilings, the installation of new triple-glazed wood/metal windows and the renewal of the window frames, which are now sandblasted concrete. For the interior conversion of the residential units, the technical ducts were extensively modified and the wet rooms and kitchens completely renovated. New entrance doors were installed, and the elevator shafts were replaced and raised. The roofs were redone, with the attic level raised to create four new apartments per building.
