La Suettaz, Nyon: Sustainable living reimagined

La Suettaz in Nyon, in the Canton of Vaud, is a landmark residential redevelopment owned by Société Coopérative d'Habitation Lausanne and Logement Social Romand. With the aim of preserving the soul of the site, SCHL, in collaboration with the authorities of the City of Nyon and the property owners, has decided to replace two ageing apartment blocks with a new neighbourhood of four courtyard buildings – placing nature and green spaces at the heart of the project.

Led by Société Coopérative d'Habitation Lausanne and Logement Social Romand, the development was designed around four contemporary courtyard buildings. Balancing urban density with generous green spaces, La Suettaz was intended to foster community life, biodiversity and resident wellbeing and managed to prioritize soft mobility, accessibility and environmental performance. Its Minergie P certification and compliance with SIA 500 requirements reflect these high standards.

Every apartment features a carefully planned kitchen designed for comfort, efficiency and longevity. V-ZUG appliances were selected for their reliability, energy efficiency and ease of use, ensuring residents benefit from modern technology while property managers gain durable solutions that reduce maintenance requirements over the long term.

To support sustainable property management, V-ZUG offers Products as a Service, an innovative subscription-based model that replaces upfront appliance investment with a predictable monthly fee. Housing providers benefit from simplified budgeting, professional lifecycle management and access to modern appliances throughout the service period.

A new neighbourhood. A shared vision. A lasting partnership. 

The situation

Between 2024 and 2027, the La Suettaz neighbourhood in Nyon is being transformed from two ageing residential blocks into four modern buildings surrounding green courtyards. Developed by the Société Coopérative d'Habitation Lausanne (SCHL) and Logement Social Romand (LSR), the project focuses on sustainability, quality of life, and soft mobility.

The new development will offer 282 apartments (45 by SCHL and 237 by LSR), ranging from 1 to 5.5 rooms, with affordable, moderate, and market-rate rents primarily for Nyon residents. The buildings meet the Minergie P2 certification and comply with SIA Standard 500. Apartments are being delivered in phases, with completion scheduled for the end of 2027.

The project involved three key challenges: relocating around 100 families with care, coordinating demolition and construction, and minimizing disruption for residents living next to the building site.

The V-ZUG solution

From the outset, both developers wanted modern, sustainable, and ergonomic household appliances made in Switzerland. V-ZUG delivered a tailored kitchen solution that met the project's environmental and functional requirements.

The collaboration reflects V-ZUG's partnership approach: listening to customer needs, providing expert guidance, and delivering long-term solutions. From planning to final handover, V-ZUG supported both developers throughout the project.
