Description
Summary:The buildings which make up the estate of Beau-Cèdre at Jouxtens-Mézery, in the present suburb of Lausanne, were constructed between 1872 and 1891 by the agronomist Gustave Auberjonois who published the plans for them in Paris, London and Lausanne. Inspired by a number of designs derived from architectural studies, one of which being the imperial farm at Vincennes, and from his personal experiences from stays in Germany, France and England, Gustave Auberjonois created an ensemble which was radically innovative for Swiss Romandy both in design and in the use of modern materials. Ever since its construction this estate has had a certain reputation, highlighted by the press and the publications of the era.
