Your project in the canton of Vaud
The canton of Vaud stretches from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Vaud Alps. Lausanne, built on steep slopes, has many older rental buildings, condominium flats and streets where parking is difficult. On the Riviera, Vevey and Montreux combine Belle Époque buildings with villas overlooking the lake, while the slopes of Lavaux are covered in terraced vineyards. Nyon and Morges combine old towns and residential districts. Yverdon-les-Bains, at the end of Lake Neuchâtel, and Payerne, in the Broye, open onto more rural surroundings. In the Chablais and the Alps, around Aigle, chalets and mountain houses contend with snow. For a façade, windows or an extension, approval may be required, so check with your municipality. State the municipality and postcode, the type of property and access to the rooms or outdoor areas concerned.
- In Lausanne, describe the slope of the street, the floor and parking options for a works vehicle.
- For a winegrower's house in Lavaux, describe access via the vineyard paths and the space available.
- For a chalet in the Vaud Alps, give the altitude and the period when the road is clear.
Architecture projects in the canton of Vaud
In the canton of Vaud, the shores of Lake Geneva, the Lavaux terraces, the Jura and the Vaud Alps offer very varied settings. In Lausanne, projects often involve older buildings run by a property management company or held in condominium ownership, with flats being joined, lofts converted or balconies added. In Montreux and Vevey, villas and mansions facing the lake require fine work on views and terraces. In the Gros-de-Vaud and around Payerne, Vaud farmhouses lend themselves to conversion into several homes. An architect coordinates the whole project. Check with the municipality before settling on your choices.
- For a Vaud farmhouse, plan the division into homes with access, gardens and parking in mind.
- In a Lausanne condominium, have façade changes approved by the co-owners from the preliminary design stage.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose an architect in Vaud?
Look at the architect's previous projects and check that they have experience with similar work. Meet them to see if you share the same vision and communicate well. Ask what the assignment covers, from design to site supervision.
How do I distinguish an architectural study from full project supervision?
A feasibility study, permit documentation, tendering and site supervision are different stages. Explain which decisions you need help with and ask for the deliverables at each stage. The assignment should state who coordinates specialist studies and how later construction work is followed.
What should I compare in architect quotes?
Compare assignment stages, drawings, specialist coordination and site follow-up against the same brief. Ask which procedures apply to the project and who handles them. Agree how revisions and approvals are documented, without assuming a standard permit duration across different municipalities and projects.
How should I prepare for the architect visit or work?
Collect property plans, available surveys and information about known constraints. List intended use, retained features and your priorities. Arrange access for the initial visit and share sensitive property documents privately, so the feasibility study begins with the relevant facts.
