Tête de Course

Nyon

In the heart of Nyon, in an emblematic listed building from the 1940s, creation of a new place with an innovative concept, a bicycle café. Tête de Course aims to be a convivial place where you can eat, repair or maintain your bike. The project to renovate the arcade has sought to preserve part of the industrial character of the former use of the original self-powered garage, through its architectural style. The arcade has been fully insulated and the new ventilation system is equipped with heat recovery. The plinth is highlighted with its new dark colour.

A new space that allows you to play with the rhythm of the seasons is created, with the rounded entrance canopy closed by full height accordion glass walls. The very open architectural concept of the interior makes it possible to observe the cooks behind their stoves as well as the mechanics repairing bicycles from the dining room.
