L'Union

A 1970s civic building converted to event space, this restored structure sits at the boundary between Lausanne's Renaissance core and its modern waterfront. Fifty to one hundred fifty guests can occupy interconnected galleries of industrial chic—concrete pillars, steel trusses exposed, white walls playing up any temporary decoration you add. The lack of inherent character forces couples to author their own aesthetic; the blank canvas appeals to those confident in their taste. Lake views arrive through tall factory-style windows.
