Lot 9

At the heart of the residence, the six existing apartments of 5 and 5.5 rooms will be fully restored. They are distinguished by their exceptional volumes, beautiful proportions and characteristic elements of period architecture, which will be carefully preserved and enhanced.

The restoration has been designed to preserve the charm and soul of the place, while offering amenities suited to current expectations. A rare alliance between period character, generous volumes and modern comfort.

Depending on their location within the residence, the apartments will benefit from gardens or, from the upper floors, a beautiful view of the lake and mountains.

PRESERVING HISTORY, IMAGINING THE FUTURE

Built in 1905 and formerly known as “Villa Les Roses,” this remarkable building belongs to those places that transcend time without losing their character. Its generous proportions, volumes and the richness of its details still testify today to the elegance of the grand residences of the early twentieth century.

Listed as grade 3 in the architectural inventory, Villa Les Roses will undergo a major restoration driven by a strong ambition: to preserve its authenticity while giving it a new life. Significant investments will be devoted to the conservation, restoration and enhancement of numerous original elements in order to pass on the identity of this residence to future generations.

This commitment will be fully reflected in the six historic apartments of 5 and 5.5 rooms. Their exceptional volumes, beautiful proportions and characteristic period elements constitute one of the project’s great strengths. The intervention will seek to reveal these qualities and combine them with the comfort expected today, without erasing the soul of the place.

But preserving heritage also means allowing it to continue living. Les Roses therefore does not seek to freeze the residence in its past: the project writes a new chapter. At the lower ground level, the “base” will accommodate six studios and one 2-room apartment, while a superstructure will crown the building with two magnificent penthouse apartments. This contemporary intervention will naturally find its place alongside the existing structure, in a quest for balance between heritage and renewal.

This remarkable heritage is matched by an equally rare setting. From the entrance to the property unfolds a magnificent wooded park, a true haven of greenery that fully participates in the identity of Les Roses. The garden-terraces will extend this privileged relationship with the outdoors and offer residents living spaces open to this preserved environment.

The location completes the singular character of this address. Located at the gates of Vevey’s old town, close to amenities, transport and the shores of Lake Geneva, the residence benefits, from its upper floors, of a magnificent view of the lake and mountains.

Les Roses is far more than the restoration of a building. It is the rebirth of a Vevey heritage, conceived with respect for its past and with the ambition of offering it a new future. An address where history, elegance and nature meet to create a truly unique living space.
