Every detail, from the architecture to the outdoor spaces, has been meticulously designed and crafted to enhance the surrounding bucolic setting, creating a refined and distinctly exclusive architectural atmosphere.
The ALPARAMA Project
This immersive scene, both architectural and bucolic, unfolds on this magnificent rural plateau nestled between Lake Geneva and the Vaudois Jura, in the commune of Bassins. In the background of this stunning 3987 m² tree-lined plot, a panoramic view of the Alps and Mont Blanc stretches out, facing the landscapes and biodiversity of the Vaudois Jura Regional Nature Park, located just a short distance away. This exceptional setting offers serenity and quality of life, ideal for flourishing alone or with family. For a quick change of scenery, transporting you from tranquillity to the hustle and bustle of urban life, a 10-minute drive is all it takes to reach shops or the Gland motorway junction.
ALPARAMA is a future residence consisting of six architect-designed villas to be built on a plot with harmonious geometry and topography. The vegetation, including magnificent trees of varied species and live hedges enclosing the property, will offer a haven of greenery and privacy to future residents. The plot is divided into a constructible area where the planned villas will be located and an open area resembling a true park, serving as spacious gardens for the Patio Villas.
To ensure smooth circulation and easy access, the Loggia and Patio Villas will have separate driveways on either side of the property. Each of the two Patio Villas will even benefit from its own individual driveway. Parking spaces will also be plentiful, as each villa will be equipped with two or three covered parking spaces. A carport, located near the southern boundary of the plot, will house some of the parking spaces and a garden shed allocated to the Patio Villas.
The project, which holds high architectural value, is designed by a renowned architectural firm based in Lausanne. All the villas will achieve superior energy performance, being Minergie-certified. Equipped with their own individual air/water heat pumps, they will share the same technical characteristics as standalone villas, allowing each owner to individually manage their heating systems. Photovoltaic panels will contribute renewable energy to electricity production, further enhancing energy efficiency. As for the wooden structure of the Loggia Villas, it offers the added benefits of improved thermal insulation and moisture regulation, enhancing thermal comfort in both summer and winter.

Villa Types & Layout Overview
The two villa typologies, the “Loggia Villas” and the “Patio Villas,” consist respectively of two pairs of twin villas and one pair of semi-detached villas. The Patio Villas, situated at the front of the plot, feature architectural designs that allow them to harmoniously blend with the topography, ensuring they do not obstruct the views from the Loggia Villas positioned at the rear. Consequently, all villas, oriented south, will enjoy expansive views of the stunning Alpine panorama. Additionally, the Loggia Villas will offer peaceful and comforting views of the Jura from the north-facing bedrooms.
The Loggia Villas
Breya, Seya, Muveran, and Génépi
The architecture of the Loggia Villas is characterized by a contemporary style influenced by Bauhaus and Scandinavian design.
Built with a wooden framework, these villas are both understated and elegant. The façade cladding, made of fine slatted wooden panels in soft, mineral tones, lends a noble and aesthetic character to the ensemble. The interior layout of the house is based on a subtle demarcation of spaces, achieved through split levels that create a smooth transition between the different sections of the home. This design ensures visual and spatial continuity from any point in the villa. The living areas, with full-height ceilings under the roof, open up stunning volumes that allow natural light to flow in through skylights and large windows.
These remarkable volumes are elegantly structured by the split-level arrangement of the dining and living areas, which unfold onto terraces.
The panoramic opening of the main façade reveals a spacious loggia—a true living space—framed by slatted wooden walls. This central element in the villa’s design redefines the boundary between interior and exterior, inviting nature and the surrounding views into the heart of the home.
Similarly, the master bedroom on the ground floor, which opens directly onto the garden, offers a breathtaking Alpine panorama as a morning view.
The geometric forms, expansive glass bands, cantilevered cubic volumes, and clean, functional living spaces imbue the villas with a touch of Bauhaus modernity in their refined contemporary design. For example, the cantilevered upstairs bedrooms cleverly serve as covered parking spaces; the slightly asymmetrical, overhang-free roof and the interplay of materials—raw concrete, glass, stainless steel, and wood—lend a discreet sophistication with an organic character that seamlessly integrates into the village-like atmosphere.
A pure and timeless aesthetic.
The Patio Villas
Isaya and Aeliana
The Patio Villas represent the perfect blend of architectural excellence, meticulous design, and seamless integration into their natural surroundings. Nestled within generous plots, they feature exceptionally large gardens, offering the possibility to add a swimming pool, pool house, outbuilding, garden pavilion, or vegetable garden, depending on the desires of their future owners, as permitted by local regulations.
Inspired by modernist movements, these villas combine elements of Mid-Century Modern architecture, celebrated for its “Case Study Houses” from Californian modernism, with influences from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian movement and iconic designs like the Jacobs Houses.
This blend of styles is reflected in their pure geometric forms, devoid of unnecessary ornamentation, emphasizing spaces where every detail is designed to optimize the flow of natural light.
Built on a single level and embedded in the natural topography, these homes harmoniously blend into the landscape. Their flat roofs, cantilevered overhangs, and elegant curves enhance a horizontal aesthetic. Large windows, glass corridors, and patios—central elements of the design—blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating a true symbiosis with the surrounding nature.
The wood used for the exterior cladding contrasts with the transparency of the glass surfaces and the minimalist chic of the concrete, adding a warm organic touch to the design.
Inside, the spaces are thoughtfully arranged for perfect fluidity, ensuring a natural transition between different living areas while maintaining a rational and functional layout. The design is not just about aesthetics. Staying true to modernism, the form serves the function, meeting everyday demands for functionality and comfort. For instance, the cantilevered flat roofs provide shaded areas, protect the facades, shelter cars, and house solariums. These solariums, true living spaces, optimize the villas’ architecture while offering spectacular views of the extensive gardens and the Alpine panorama.
These villas embody a modern lifestyle where every detail, from the architecture to the outdoor spaces, has been designed to offer a unique experience in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature.
