Stable Conversion / Link Architectes

Forming part of a dense, adjoining set of typical local buildings, the project lies at the heart of the village of Chernex in the upper part of the municipality of Montreux, above the shores of Lake Geneva. The goal was to transform the stable adjoining the old post house dating from the eighteenth century; originally, it housed horses for the postal service. Set back from the main body of the building and the street, the ground floor of the stable was occupied solely by the professional kitchen serving the former inn. The rest of the space was bare and unused. The entire space has been cleared to make way for individual housing.
