CCHE was founded more than 100 years ago by the architects Charles and Frédéric Brugger. Thanks to a resolutely forward-looking spirit, Brugger designed several buildings in French-speaking Switzerland that are representative of Lausanne life: the Elysée school complex (1957-1965), the Kodak SA administrative building (1959-1962) and the social housing of the Tours de la Borde (1962-1968). His open-mindedness and entrepreneurial vision opened the doors to the 1964 National Exhibition, for which he was the architect responsible for the industry and crafts sector.
It was then Edouard Catella and Erich Hauenstein who took over the reins of the office, continuing the original spirit: to make CCHE a workshop where value is created together, where the group rather than the individual is emphasized.
CCHE manages landscape architecture, urban planning, architectural and (interior) design projects, from initial conception to final completion. Today, the business brand has through its community more than 350 employees encompassing 25 different professions, meaning it has the advantage of being able to offer a complete range of services covering each project phase.
