What structurame does

Structurame is a Geneva-headquartered structural engineering firm founded in 2014, operating with a team of 9 employees across offices in Geneva and Lausanne. The firm delivers structural architecture, structural engineering, and structural research services for buildings, bridges (ouvrages d'art), and public infrastructure projects throughout French-speaking Switzerland, with occasional international competition participation. Its technical capabilities span non-linear structural modeling for prestressed structures, seismic isolation systems (HDRB elastomeric and LFSB sliding bearings), heritage bridge restoration, and sustainable construction methods including rammed earth (pis\u00e9) walls from on-site excavated soil, mass timber and CLT construction, recycled concrete, and reclaimed materials.

The firm's business model is professional services revenue earned through project-based fees negotiated for each engagement, with go-to-market centered on architectural competitions, public tenders, and direct mandates from Swiss municipalities, cantonal governments, and federal infrastructure owners. Key client segments include Swiss public sector bodies (Communes de Meyrin, Avusy, Confignon, Lancy, Pregny-Chamb\u00e9sy; Ville de Lausanne; Canton du Valais; CFF), cultural institutions (Mus\u00e9e d'art et d'histoire de Gen\u00e8ve), and private developers served through collaborative partnerships with architectural firms (APAAR_, Atelier Bonnet Architectes, MAD Architectes). Differentiation rests on specialized expertise in innovative low-carbon construction materials and sustainable engineering approaches, validated by recent recognition including the SIA Gen\u00e8ve 2026 prize, Prix Acier 2026 finalist status, and Best Architects 2019 awards.
