Award-winning unification, refurbishment and fitout of seven heritage buildings on the shore of Lake Geneva, transforming a row of structurally independent historic buildings into a client-facing headquarters for HSBC Private Bank.

The project accommodates 650 staff, a trading floor and premier client facilities with uninterrupted views across the lake, while meeting Geneva's stringent environmental standards through sustainability initiatives including lakewater cooling and electrochromatic glazing.

Michelle oversaw the detailed design and construction delivery for the specialist client-facing areas of the project, including the client reception, meeting rooms, private dining facilities and auditorium.
