Campus Pictet de Rochemont

To pursue the development of its activities, the Pictet Group has decided to construct an avant-garde building at the heart of the major Praille Acacias Vernets urban development project in Geneva. The Campus Pictet de Rochemont will be an environmental reference in its construction concept, energy consumption and accessibility.

About the Campus

The Campus Pictet de Rochemont aims to become one of the most emblematic building complex of the Praille Acacias Vernets (PAV) project. The PAV project aims to transform Geneva’s largest and oldest industrial and artisanal zone into a mixed-use urban district where people will want to live and work. The inauguration of the Campus Pictet de Rochemont in 2025 will mark a big step in the development of the neighbourhood.

Environmentally conscious building

With 23 floors, a panoramic view from the terrace and the omnipresence of nature: the notion of “well-being” will be at the heart of what the building stands for.

Water, air, light and greenery are the core elements of the winning project, “Feng Shui” (“well-being”). The new building will provide spaces that will ensure Pictet employees, clients and visitors constantly remain in contact with nature, bringing them calm, strength, peace and vitality. It will provide its users with a stimulating and human working environment that fosters open mindedness, transparency and cooperation.

The Campus Pictet de Rochemont will be an environmental reference in its construction concept, energy consumption and accessibility, with a strong emphasis on car-free living. At his heart, green spaces will be created, with a public park and a tree-lined perimeter, as well as the daylighting of the Drize river.

Moving to the Campus Pictet de Rochemont site will enable us to reduce the annual carbon footprint of our buildings in Geneva from 900 tCO2/year to 150 tCO2/year by 2026.
