Mixcity
An urban complex dressed in enhanced wood
About the project
MixCity, located in Renens (Switzerland), is an innovative 11,700 m² complex designed to promote a diversity of uses.
This unique space brings together offices, shops, restaurants, workshops, logistics areas, as well as sports and leisure zones, creating a true urban synergy.
Built by the Vaud-based company Alpenda, designed by the Lausanne architecture firm Atelier Simplon, and financed by Arab Bank Real Estate, MixCity embodies a new generation of multifunctional and sustainable buildings.
Its WOODOO façade, featuring 8,000 linear meters of STACK installed, gives the building a strong and innovative architectural identity, combining aesthetics, performance, and environmental responsibility.
