Our Clients
Strengths
In a nutshell
The name “paterr” is an acronym made up of the terms patrimoine, architecture and territory.
It defines the horizon of our expertise, but also reveals a deeper, more intimate meaning. “paterr” is more than just an enumeration of our skills; it’s the expression of a union of timeless values such as simplicity, authenticity, beauty and the quest for perfection.
Our approach
Each project has its own constraints and requirements. In the process, you need to identify a strong position between the “what” and the “where”. It’s important that this position wins the support of all those involved in the project. To achieve this, we proceed by optimizing the surplus so as to retain only what we consider essential.
Our favourite themes
We’re looking for sensitive, tactile architecture capable of generating emotions. The relationship between inside and outside is central. As such, the treatment of transitional spaces is a recurring theme, such as doors, windows, balconies and similar architectural devices.
We are also committed to the materiality of our creations. The different surfaces and the variety of colors used are chosen to serve the objectives of the project and to bring a sense of well-being to the users.
These two aspects are undoubtedly the most significant in our practice.

Located between the Vevey train station and the shores of Lake Geneva, our office welcomes you to a space designed to inspire and bring your projects to life.
