THROUGH THE GENERATIONS
THE HOUSE REMAINS
Merchants, bankers, pastors and other owners followed. Geneva grew around the estate. A railway crossed the land, and a fire damaged the house. Through these changes, it endured.
1718
A PLACE ON THE MAP
Six years later, the house appeared on a map of Geneva: a small, square footprint among the gardens.
1768
A NEW SCALE
The house was widened and raised by one storey. A long avenue crossed the fields, leading visitors to its door.

TODAY
A LIVING HERITAGE
Restored by Milanese architects Galante Menichini, the house brings historic spaces into dialogue with contemporary design and art. In the courtyard, a cedar of Lebanon remains a living connection to the garden’s past.
BEFORE 1712
BEFORE THE HOUSE
Five hectares of fields and kitchen gardens stretched across Eaux-Vives. Known as Le Domaine des Vollandes, the estate began as cultivated land, before the city grew around it.
1712
A HOUSE TAKES ROOT
Huguenot cloth merchant Pierre Faure acquired the estate and began a new chapter in its history: a house built on land where hemp had once grown.

CURIOUS
We remain drawn to what we do not yet know. Culture, technology, science and philosophy become starting points for discovery, exchange and new ways of seeing.

CRITICAL
We value a good question as much as a good answer. Independent thinking and intellectual friction keep the house open to challenge, debate and reconsideration.

We choose with purpose. People, ideas, experiences and details come together deliberately, giving the house its particular character.

FROM THE FOUNDER

“The most interesting possibilities often emerge when disciplines that rarely encounter one another are brought into the same fabric. N°OW’HERE" was created from this conviction: that business, technology and culture each carry their own knowledge, language and way of seeing, yet become more powerful when woven together.
As the boundaries between these fields become increasingly fluid, the value lies in what emerges through their exchange. Not simply bringing different people into the same room, but creating an environment where knowledge can cross-pollinate, unexpected relationships can take root and new ways of seeing can emerge.
N°OW’HERE" is a place for this kind of exchange, bringing together different threads of experience, expertise and ambition to form a richer understanding of the forces shaping our world.”
