The Manifesto
Since 2016 — on the shores of Lake Geneva, in the Alpine valleys and as far as the French Caribbean — Invest Prestige has brought together architects, project managers and master craftsmen around a single standard: to make every building a living work of art, designed to endure and to be passed on. Twelve projects a year. No compromise.

Six territories — six idioms
From the purest lake in Europe to the French Caribbean: every destination dictates its own materials, planning rules and calendar. We know them by heart.

Cantilevered lakeside villas, private jetties and glass volumes suspended above the purest lake in Europe.

Energy-positive residences built to Swiss standards, private jetties and glass facades facing Mont Blanc.

Prestige chalets in local stone and charred larch, private spa and underground wine cellar, facing the Mont Blanc massif.

High-altitude ski-in / ski-out chalets, spa and indoor pool, with palace-style concierge service designed in from the outset.

Hillside estates, infinity pools and 180° views over the Mediterranean.

Biophilic tropical sanctuaries, designed for hurricane resilience and barefoot luxury.

In our clients’ words
“We were looking for a builder. We found a kindred spirit. Three years later, our chalet has become the place where the family comes together. Nothing was left to chance.”
The Journal
Planning rules, real costs, materials: notes written by the people responsible for the drawings, the budgets and the deadlines.
Planning & territoriesResidence, permits, cross-border workers, holiday homes: what the Lex Koller allows and forbids when buying land and building a villa in Geneva or the canton of Vaud.
Planning & territoriesThe LCI and the villa zone in Geneva, the LATC and public inquiry in Vaud, SIA 380/1, costs in CHF: how a villa on the Swiss shore of Lake Geneva is permitted.
Planning & territoriesCoastal law, the 100-metre strip, the shoreline right of way, the heritage architect: the rules that govern a villa on Lake Annecy, and what they cost in time.
Frequently asked questions
Budgets, guarantees, confidentiality, timing: the answers we give when we meet.
Our signature programmes start from €2m for a new build and €800k for a major renovation. For more conventional projects, our sister company Invest Travaux delivers quality renovation with excellent value for money.
Lake Annecy and Haute-Savoie, Lake Geneva (Geneva, Vaud, Chablais), Megève, Courchevel and the Three Valleys, the French Riviera (Cap Ferrat, Èze, Saint-Tropez) and Saint-Barthélemy. A Geneva office opens in early 2027; until then, Lake Geneva projects are run from our office in Faverges-Seythenex, one hour from Geneva. Other destinations are considered case by case, by invitation.
A transparent fee policy: a 12% commission paid directly by our partner craftsmen, at no extra cost to the client. Our services include architecture and drawings, 3D modelling, management of all trades, bespoke furniture, landscaping and seasonal rental management.
From the first meeting to the handover of the keys, allow 18 to 30 months for a new build, including 11 to 20 months on site. A major renovation takes 9 to 18 months depending on the floor area and the heritage constraints.
Absolutely. We offer both integrated design and, for fellow architects, construction-stage project management, in France and in Switzerland.
Our partner companies hold professional liability insurance and the French ten-year structural warranty (garantie décennale); Invest Prestige provides owner’s insurance, continuous reporting and five years of after-care concierge after handover.
A non-disclosure agreement signed at the first meeting. Addresses anonymised on every document, no photograph or public reference without the owner’s written authorisation.
Confidential meeting
