Brodbeck Roulette Associate Architects

What Brodbeck Roulette Associate Architects does

Brodbeck Roulet Architectes Associés SA is an independent Swiss architecture firm founded in 1978 by Rino Brodbeck and Jacques Roulet, headquartered at Rue du Pont-Neuf 12, CH-1227 Carouge, in the Geneva metropolitan area. The firm operates as an interdisciplinary collective of approximately 90 professionals across architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture, interior architecture, engineering, BIM modeling, economics, HR, finance, and administration, organized around nine named associates/partner-architects. Service offerings are integrated across three pillars — architecture, urbanism and landscape, and interior architecture — and are delivered through project mandates, public tenders, and architectural competitions for corporate, institutional, governmental, and nonprofit clients.

The firm has built a 47-year portfolio of landmark projects including the 1995 World Meteorological Organization headquarters (which established its international reputation), the Rolex SA world headquarters renovation and expansion (145,000 m²) in Geneva's Acacias zone, the CERN Science Gateway visitor center (8,000 m², collaboration with Renzo Piano Building Workshop), the Givaudan Vernier logistics facility (144,606 m² parcel), the Fondation ForPro Tourbillon training campus, the LMI Parc mixed-income social housing (146 units, 16,700 m²), and the Banque Piguet-Galland Les Pléiades headquarters. Technical infrastructure centers on BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflows and visualization partnerships.

The business model is professional services revenue from architectural and engineering fees generated through design, project management, and construction supervision engagements, priced via project-based fees (percentage of construction cost or hourly rates) negotiated per mandate or determined through Swiss public tender processes. Distribution runs through direct enterprise relationships, public procurement competitions, and professional referral networks in the Geneva and Western Switzerland architectural community. Following the 2017 leadership transition in which founders Brodbeck and Roulet stepped down, the firm is currently led by a new generation of associates and continues to operate as a privately held entity with no disclosed parent company or external investment.
