Project
THE PROJECT
Cocoon is an innovative real estate project in the heart of western Lausanne.
The site offers 38,000 sqm of business and service space, divisible from 300 sqm and up. It is composed of four buildings characterised by pure and elegant lines.
Its large, light-filled floors, designed to accommodate companies in customisable spaces, have a stunning view over the lake and the mountains.
Well-being and technology are at the heart of Cocoon, whose architecture also leaves plenty of room for interaction and relaxation, with the development of a large public square combined with planted spaces and tree-lined areas.
Cocoon promotes the well-being of its users by offering flexible and modular spaces that can be adapted to suit the tenant's needs and accommodate all types of activities. The ground floor, dedicated to shops, services, and restaurants, offers a living and meeting space that is accessible to all.
Key figures:
4 high energy performance buildings
38,000 sqm of office and retail space
13,000 sqm of storage space
380 covered parking spaces
1,560 photovoltaic panels
Remarkable architecture
With its four boldly-designed buildings, Cocoon combines aesthetics and functionality. Its Screen building, with its striking look, insulates the site from the motorway which runs alongside it, both visually and acoustically.
Sustainability at the heart of Cocoon
Vegetalized roofs, water-retention basins, photovoltaic panels, glass boxes to prevent heat loss, large green spaces: Cocoon embraces the desire to preserve the environment and the site’s biodiversity.
High connectivity and accessibility
Cocoon enjoys a strategic location, making it easily accessible, whatever the mode of transportation chosen. It is directly connected to the centre of Lausanne by the Lausanne public transportation network (tl) and will soon be by the new tram line. It is also close to the A1 motorway and the Bussigny train station (CFF).
